#worldmaternalmentalhealthday What does it mean to you? To me it is an opportunity to raise awareness about the mental health issues related to childbearing. It is an opportunity to connect with other survivors in the world who offer different perspectives yet share similar experiences with me. I have connected with so many survivors including the wonderful Australian mums on here. @postpartum.jade was one of the first accounts that helped validate my experience. I’m so glad this side of motherhood exists on social media. We are #strongertogether when we share our experiences. We will change the world one step at a time. In America: I am 1️⃣ in 5️⃣ new mothers who experience Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders as a result of the pandemic. I am also 1️⃣ in 3️⃣ mothers of color who experience #pmads and part of the 15-25% who seek treatment. #letstalkaboutit #iamnotalone #maternalmentalhealth #maternalmentalhealthweek #maternalmentalhealthmatters #worldmmhday #maternalmhmatters
