Healthy Delaware: Maternal Mental Health

Becoming a mom can be an exciting and joyful experience, but pregnancy and the first year after birth can also bring unexpected emotional challenges. In this Healthy Delaware segment, we’re talking about maternal mental health, postpartum depression, and postpartum anxiety, and what every Delaware family should know.

We discuss common warning signs, the importance of checking in on new moms, how partners and family members can provide support, and why asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

If you or someone you know is struggling, talk with your doctor, OB-GYN, pediatrician, therapist, or a trusted support resource.

Healthy Delaware is brought to you by the Behavioral Health Consortium.
