The “baby blues” are common after giving birth and typically improve within a week or two. But when feelings of sadness, hopelessness, anxiety or overwhelm persist or interfere with daily life, they may be signs of perinatal depression.

Perinatal depression can occur during pregnancy or after childbirth, and it is treatable with professional help. Knowing the signs can help you recognize when it may be time to reach out for support.

A mental health crisis can make it difficult to communicate your needs and preferences. A Mental Health Advance Directive (MHAD) can help make sure your wishes for treatment and care are known ahead of time.

From preferred providers and treatment instructions to identifying who can make health decisions on your behalf, a MHAD can be an important tool for person-centered care and communication.
