What Is Postpartum Depression and Anxiety?

Understanding the Emotional Challenges After Childbirth

Postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety (PPA) are more than just “baby blues.” They are medical conditions that affect your mood, thoughts, and overall well-being in the weeks or months following childbirth.

  • Postpartum Depression involves persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, fatigue, and difficulty bonding with your baby.

  • Postpartum Anxiety is marked by excessive worry, restlessness, panic attacks, and a constant sense of dread that can feel overwhelming and exhausting.

These conditions occur due to a combination of hormonal changes, lifestyle adjustments, physical recovery, and sometimes pre-existing mental health vulnerabilities. They are not a sign of weakness or failure—they are treatable conditions that deserve care and attention.

Types of Postpartum Depression and Anxiety We Support

At Heart Mind Soul Practice, we recognize that postpartum emotional health looks different for every mother. We provide tailored therapy for a wide range of postpartum challenges, including:

  • Persistent low mood, tearfulness, fatigue, and feelings of worthlessness after childbirth


  • Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive symptoms related to the baby’s safety or health.

  • Rare but severe symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions that require immediate care and collaboration with medical providers

  • Including depression or anxiety during pregnancy and up to one year postpartum.

  • Emotional distress and flashbacks related to traumatic birth experiences

  • Difficulty coping with new roles, identity shifts, and relationship changes after having a baby.

If motherhood feels overwhelming, and these feelings persist beyond the first few weeks, therapy may help you regain balance and peace. Look for signs such as:

  • Difficulty bonding or feeling detached from your baby

  • Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest

  • Changes in appetite or sleep disturbances unrelated to baby care

  • Irritability, anger, or mood swings

  • Feeling worthless, guilty, or ashamed

  • Thoughts of self-harm or harming your baby (immediate help needed)

  • Avoiding social contact or withdrawing from loved ones

If any of these resonate with you, reaching out for therapy is a courageous and important step.
