Healing Hearts and Minds: Support for New Moms Facing Postpartum Depression
Postpartum Depression Counseling in Fort Wayne
Compassionate Mental Health Support for New Mothers and Families
The period after childbirth is often described as joyful—but for many women, it can also be emotionally overwhelming. If you're feeling persistently sad, anxious, irritable, or detached after having a baby, you may be experiencing Postpartum Depression (PPD). At Insight Counseling Fort Wayne, our Expert Depression Counseling Services provide sensitive, evidence-based care tailored to support mothers during this challenging and often misunderstood time.
Understanding Postpartum Depression (PPD)
Postpartum Depression is a serious but treatable mood disorder that can occur anytime during the first year after childbirth. Unlike the "baby blues," which are common and typically short-lived, PPD involves more intense and long-lasting emotional struggles that can interfere with daily functioning, bonding with the baby, and overall well-being.
Persistent sadness or crying
Irritability or anger
Feelings of hopelessness or guilt
Trouble sleeping (even when the baby sleeps)
Difficulty bonding with the baby
Changes in appetite or energy levels
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, you're not alone—and help is available.
