Frequently Asked Questions About Maternal Mental Health

What is infant mental health?

Infant mental health refers to a baby's developing ability to form relationships, experience and regulate emotions, and explore their environment. It is deeply connected to the quality of the caregiver-infant bond.

When should a new mother seek support for her mental health?

If you are experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, difficulty bonding with your baby, intrusive thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed beyond what feels manageable, it is worth reaching out to a professional. These feelings are more common than many people realize, and support is available.
