About Mental Health Support

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Garden OB/GYN recognizes the connection between hormonal health and emotional well-being, and our providers screen for and address conditions like postpartum depression, anxiety, premenstrual mood disorders, and the emotional aspects of fertility challenges and menopause. We provide a supportive environment and connect you with the resources you need.

What to Expect

Mental health screening is incorporated into routine visits. If you're experiencing mood changes, anxiety, depression, or emotional distress, your provider will have a candid conversation about your symptoms. We can prescribe appropriate medications, recommend lifestyle strategies, and refer you to mental health professionals including therapists and psychiatrists who specialize in women's health.

Who Is This For?

Women experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), emotional effects of menopause, grief related to pregnancy loss, or any mental health concerns connected to their reproductive health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you treat postpartum depression?

Yes, we screen for postpartum depression and anxiety at postnatal visits and can initiate treatment or refer you to specialized providers.

Can hormones affect my mood?

Absolutely. Hormonal fluctuations during your menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum period, and menopause can significantly impact mood and emotional well-being.

Is it normal to feel anxious during pregnancy?

Some anxiety is normal, but if it's interfering with your daily life or enjoyment of pregnancy, it's worth discussing with your provider. Help is available.

Will you prescribe antidepressants?

When appropriate, yes. We carefully weigh benefits and risks, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and choose the safest effective options.
