The purpose of this discussion is to open up a dialogue about the mental health concerns mothers face pre/post-pregnancy. About 6 million women get pregnant every year and 10% of those women take psychiatric medications. Of all pregnant women, approximately 15% have psychiatric problems, in particular depression and anxiety. Today we want to explore ways women can optimize their journey through motherhood.
