Welcoming a new baby is often portrayed as a joyful experience, but for many new mothers, the postpartum period brings unexpected emotional challenges. Postpartum depression (PPD) is more than the “baby blues.” It can involve persistent sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, and difficulty bonding with your baby. At Marsh Psychology Group, we offer supportive, evidence-based therapy for postpartum depression to clients in Madison Heights, Michigan.
Understanding Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression affects nearly 1 in 7 women and can begin within weeks of childbirth or develop gradually over time. Symptoms may include:
- Mood swings
- Irritability
- Changes in appetite
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Trouble sleeping, even when your baby is resting
Many women also experience guilt or shame, believing they should be happier. It’s important to know that these feelings are not a reflection of your abilities as a parent. PPD is a medical condition, not a personal failure.
Supportive Therapy Tailored to You
Our experienced therapists understand the complexity of postpartum depression and are here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and interpersonal therapy, we help clients process their emotions, manage symptoms, and build coping strategies.
