Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the “baby blues” and postpartum depression?
The “baby blues” are common after childbirth and may include tearfulness, irritability, anxiety, or mood changes that typically improve within about two weeks. Postpartum depression is more persistent and may involve sadness, loss of interest, guilt, hopelessness, difficulty functioning, or changes in sleep, appetite, energy, and concentration. If symptoms are intense, worsening, or lasting beyond the first couple of weeks, it’s important to seek support.
Can I develop depression or anxiety during pregnancy, even if I’ve never experienced it before?
Yes. Depression and anxiety can begin for the first time during pregnancy or after delivery, while pre-existing mental health conditions may also change during this period. Perinatal mental health care includes pregnancy as well as the postpartum period—you do not have to wait until after your baby arrives to seek support.
Can I take psychiatric medication while breastfeeding?
In many cases, yes. Medication recommendations during breastfeeding depend on the specific medication, dose, your individual health needs, and factors related to your baby and feeding plan. At Good Mood, we can help you weigh the benefits and potential risks so you can make an informed treatment decision.
Can Good Mood coordinate care with my OB-GYN, primary care provider, or therapist?
Yes. With your permission, Good Mood can collaborate with your OB-GYN, primary care provider, therapist, or other members of your healthcare team. Coordinated care can be particularly valuable during pregnancy and postpartum when your mental health, medications, sleep, physical recovery, and overall health may be closely connected.
What happens during a perinatal or postpartum psychiatric evaluation?
Your evaluation is designed to understand the whole picture. We’ll discuss your current symptoms, psychiatric and medical history, medications, pregnancy or postpartum experience, sleep, support system, and treatment goals. When appropriate, standardized screening tools may also be used to help identify and monitor depression, anxiety, and other perinatal mental health concerns.
What is postpartum psychosis, and when should I seek emergency help?
Postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency that can involve severe confusion, unusual or rapidly changing behavior, hallucinations, delusions, extreme mood changes, or significant loss of contact with reality. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms—or there is an immediate concern about the safety of a parent or baby—seek emergency medical care IMMEDIATELY or call 911.
What are the signs of perinatal or postpartum anxiety and depression?
Symptoms can look different for everyone. You may experience persistent sadness, anxiety, excessive worry, irritability, feeling overwhelmed, difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite or energy, trouble concentrating, guilt, hopelessness, or difficulty enjoying things you normally would. You do not have to wait until symptoms become severe to ask for help.
Is it safe to take psychiatric medication during pregnancy?
Many psychiatric medications can be considered during pregnancy when clinically appropriate. Treatment decisions are individualized and consider your symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, previous response to treatment, pregnancy, and the potential risks and benefits of both treatment and untreated illness. Pregnancy alone is not a reason to automatically stop a psychiatric medication.
What if I’m already taking psychiatric medication and become pregnant or plan to become pregnant?
If possible, schedule a medication review before making changes on your own. Your clinician can review what you're taking, how well it has worked, your psychiatric history, and the risks and benefits of continuing, adjusting, or changing treatment. Current guidance recommends against discontinuing psychiatric medication solely because of pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Can you help with birth trauma, pregnancy loss, miscarriage, or stillbirth?
Yes. Pregnancy loss, stillbirth, neonatal loss, difficult deliveries, and other traumatic reproductive experiences can have a significant emotional impact. Good Mood provides a supportive space to address grief, anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and other mental health concerns that may arise following these experiences.
Do you offer virtual perinatal and postpartum appointments?
Yes. Good Mood offers virtual psychiatric appointments, making it easier to access specialized mental health care during pregnancy and postpartum from the comfort and privacy of home. Virtual care is available to patients located in states where their Good Mood clinician is licensed to practice.
Can Good Mood support me if I’m planning a pregnancy?
Yes. Mental health care can begin before pregnancy. A preconception consultation can help you review your psychiatric history, current medications, previous pregnancy or postpartum experiences, and treatment goals so that you and your healthcare team can develop a thoughtful plan for pregnancy and the postpartum period. ACOG recommends mental health screening as part of prepregnancy care as well as during pregnancy and postpartum.
