Welcoming a new baby into your life can bring profound joy, but it can also come with unexpected emotional challenges. Many new parents experience mood changes, anxiety, or overwhelming feelings during pregnancy and after birth. At Lisa Greenstein Therapy & Consulting, we specialize in helping individuals navigate these transitions with compassion and evidence-based care through perinatal therapy in NJ and NYC.

 

Understanding Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are among the most common complications during pregnancy and the postpartum period. They include conditions such as:

• Perinatal depression (during or after pregnancy)

• Generalized anxiety and excessive worry

• Postpartum depression

• Obsessive-compulsive symptoms or intrusive thoughts

• Birth-related trauma or PTSD

These experiences are not signs of weakness or failure, they are real, treatable conditions that can affect anyone during the perinatal period. With the right support, recovery is absolutely possible.
