Consider PMAD: Up to 20% of women develop a clinically significant mood or anxiety illness during pregnancy or up to one year after the birth. This continued risk up to 1 year postpartum appears to be related to the activation of genetic risks that occurs when estrogen drops significantly birth. You may contact me, if there are no perinatal psychologists or reproductive psychiatrists near you.
