Understanding PMAD
A happy time filled with excitement and joy—that's what many of us envision when someone is having a baby. However, for many parents, this is not a reality.
Depression or anxiety during or after pregnancy is an illness best described as a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (PMAD) and is as real as any other medical condition, like cancer, a broken leg or diabetes. Without help there can be serious consequences.
PMAD affects nearly 1 out of every 5 pregnant women, moms with young children and women who have experienced a pregnancy loss.
Up to 10% of new fathers experience paternal depression or anxiety.
