I attended Postpartum Support International’s (PSI) seminar this last weekend in Tampa and was blown away by the presentations. The main presenter was Birdie Gunyon Meyer, the current president of PSI. Her committment and knowledge of the area of perinatal support is just incredible. And she was funny, which always makes a seminar or conference more enjoyable.
Most people are not familiar with the term “perinatal.” It covers the period from prenatal to postpartum, so is all inclusive. People tend to think of depression and anxiety as only occurring during the postpartum period, after someone has the baby. But there is a significant amount of women (about 10%) who experience depression and anxiety during pregnancy. If untreated, it puts them at higher risk for postpartum depression as well, but it should be acknowledged and treated during pregnancy.
PSI works to raise the awareness of the emotional changes that women experience during the entire perinatal period.
I also attended the Perinatal Mood Disorder Conference last weekend in Tampa. It was one of the most informative sessions I have ever listened to. I was enlightened on many areas of PPD and it made me better understand why I suffered. I am a PPD survivor and I was excited to meet other women that had similar experiences to mine. I want to thank everyone involved with this conference! It was truly an experience I will never forget and I am excited to get started on forming local support groups in my area!
Thanks for your comment, Christy! I also had PPD after the birth of my first daughter. I agree – the conference was very enlightening!
