TIP #26 FROM THE EVERYDAY MOTHER

 
Postpartum depression two years after birth
 
 

Research suggests postpartum symptoms, such as postpartum depression and/or anxiety, can present up to two years after giving birth.

I've been hearing so many stories lately of women who were being turned away from perinatal mental health clinics because they're no longer in the "postpartum" stage. The Motherhood Center in NYC recognizes that the "postpartum" stage can last MUCH longer than traditionally believed, and is there to support women at any stage. Kudos to that!
