What is Prenatal Depression ?

Prenatal depression, also known as antenatal depression, is a mood disorder that occurs during pregnancy. While pregnancy is often seen as a joyful time, hormonal changes, physical discomfort, and life transitions can lead to persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion.

This condition affects not only your mood but also your energy, sleep, and ability to bond with your growing baby. It is common but often misunderstood, leaving many individuals feeling isolated. Recognizing the symptoms and seeking support early can help protect both your mental well-being and the health of your baby.

My wife and I were seeking therapy to reconnect and improve our relationship. Although we've only completed the first session of counseling I will say that it was a step in the right direction. Our therapist Sandra took time to get to know each of us and initiated conductive conversation. Looking forward for more. Scheduling has been very easy. I would recommend.

Judi ★★★★★

Verified Customer

Just never thought I’d need a therapist but Carla is a rare find. While we don’t speak on a regular basis, when we do, for me, it’s like talking with a friend. It’s always a pleasure to talk to her and by the end of the conversation , I’m seeing things differently.

Ginny ★★★★★

Verified Customer

ReachLink has excellent customer service and makes scheduling so easy and convenient! I’ve had such horrible luck with finding the right therapist for me. I felt like the first therapist they linked me with wasn’t a good fit for me, but they listened to my needs and found me another therapist who has been just an absolute God-send. I just wish I would’ve found this help/ReachLink years ago!
