Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder (PMAD) is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. Yet, PMADs are often not recognized or acknowledged. According to the Anxiety & Depression Association of American PMADs are the number one complication of pregnancy and childbirth. Perinatal Mood Anxiety Disorders can have profound adverse effects on the women, children, and their family’s mental, physical and emotional health. Women of every culture, age, income level, and race can develop PMADs any time during pregnancy and after childbirth.

“As a mother myself, I know the stress and challenges of pregnancy, birth and early child rearing are already difficult.
