WOMEN'S PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH MEDICATION IN LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA

 

 

WHAT WE HELP WITH:

Women's and perinatal mental health medication may help with:

  • Postpartum depression — sadness, numbness, or overwhelm that doesn't lift after having a baby
  • Postpartum anxiety or intrusive thoughts
  • PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) - severe mood shifts, irritability, or depression before your period
  • Anxiety or depression during pregnancy (perinatal mood changes)
  • Mood, sleep, and anxiety changes through perimenopause and menopause
  • Rage, irritability, or feeling "not like yourself"
  • Hormone-related sleep disruption

Medication isn't about numbing you or changing who you are. It's about steadying the ground under you so you can show up for your life and the people in it.
