Why Maternal Mental Health Matters

Transitioning into motherhood brings profound emotional, physical, and psychological changes. Statistics reveal that approximately 1 in 7 women may experience postpartum depression, and emotional challenges can also significantly affect women facing difficulties with fertility. At shrinkMD, we believe addressing these issues proactively is crucial for the well-being of mothers and their families.
