Maternal Mental Health

When I had my son in 2017, little did I realize how big of an issue maternal health actually was. With as many as 1 in 5 women suffering from a maternal mental health disorder, such as postpartum depression, it is a serious health issue that needs to be openly discussed. With the sigma associated with any mental health disorder, there are campaigns to help destigmatize the subject. With too many individuals suffering in silence, voices need to be heard. If you, or someone you know, has a possible mental health issue, please seek support. Resources like The Blue Dot Project is a good way to start. No individual should be afraid to ask for help.
