One of the worst parts about the symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety is that they don’t feel like symptoms. They feel like who you are, was shared by Karen Kleinman in her book the Art of Holding. It’s typical for new parents to experience mild changes to their mental health with BIPOC mothers being 2-3x more likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression.
