Depression and anxiety during pregnancy, following childbirth, or following a loss, are more common than most people know. They are referred to as Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders. There are also more effective treatments and resources than many are aware of. This page will guide you in identifying options for finding information and support.

If you are struggling or have questions, please call our warmline at 619-254-0023. Our trained volunteers can provide you with support and referrals.
