Did you know that post partum depression (depression effecting new mothers and fathers up to one year post child birth) goes undetected in up to 50% of cases? D...epression is the second most disabling condition for mothers only second to HIV/AIDS worldwide. One in seven women will experience a depressive episode within three months of giving birth. Maternal depression can affect an infant’s emotional, cognitive and affective development and have lasting impacts. It can also impair parent-child bonding, and infant sleeping and eating. A pediatrician is the most likely provider to initially screen for PPD but those experiencing PPD should see a qualified mental health provider right away. If you know a new parent, reach out and see if they might need help or extra support.

Not an exhaustive list, but a good chart nonetheless...
