Perinatal and Postpartum Depression

Whether depression occurs immediately before and after childbirth (“perinatal”) or lasts for a longer time after (“postpartum”), Einstein staff is able to help patients through difficult changes. In some cases, depression happens because of genetics. In other cases, anxiety, fear, stress, violence or finances may trigger symptoms.

At Einstein Healthcare Network, all mothers-to-be are screened for depression during pregnancy. We employ a team of licensed social workers and clinical therapists to help determine the best methods to help you feel better, such as medication or talk therapy.

If you or a loved one is experiencing any symptoms during or after pregnancy, Einstein is here to help. Speak to your medical team as soon as possible.
