Did you know that 1 in 5 moms will experience a postpartum mood disorder? That means, if you know four other moms, one of you most likely has been through or is currently experiencing postpartum depression, anxiety, or psychosis. Postpartum mental health impacts ALL of us, and it’s not talked about enough.

The following info and list of local mental health resources are provided by my dear friend, Ashley—an Otsego mom who dealt with postpartum depression and suicidal thoughts after the birth of her daughter. Ashley is a speaker at the Postpartum Mental Health Workshop coming up later this month. She also writes about imperfect motherhood and mental health on her blog, Everybody’s Fed, Nobody’s Dead.
