When it’s more than baby blues.
Postpartum mood and anxiety disorders are common and highly treatable. Asking is not an admission of anything.
Talk to your OB, midwife or doctor. PSI HelpLine: 1-800-944-4773. In crisis, call or text 988.
If you need help now: If you have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, see or hear things others don’t, or feel confused, call 911 or go to an emergency room. For support any time, call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-852-6262, or call or text 988. Postpartum Support International’s HelpLine, 1-800-944-4773, is a support line, not a crisis line.
If your mood, anxiety or thoughts are the main problem, start with therapy, which you can use insurance for through Alma. If what you need is a practical plan for help, nights and childcare, that’s coaching.
