It starts the moment you begin holding space for the possibility of life, whether that\u2019s in the midst of <a href=\"https:\/\/resiliencyclinic.com\/fr\/essayer-de-concevoir-canada-grief\/\">trying to conceive<\/a>, navigating pregnancy, or preparing emotionally for a new chapter. And while it can be beautiful and life-affirming, it can also bring anxiety, grief, fear, isolation and identity shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Resiliency Clinic, we believe that maternal mental health matters in <em>every<\/em> season leading up to it. We provide maternal mental health therapy in Ottawa, including support for postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, <a href=\"https:\/\/resiliencyclinic.com\/fr\/essayer-de-concevoir-canada-grief\/\"><strong>fertility challenges<\/strong><\/a>, and the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qu'est-ce que la sant\u00e9 mentale maternelle ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>La sant\u00e9 mentale maternelle englobe le bien-\u00eatre \u00e9motionnel et psychologique des individus pendant la grossesse et la p\u00e9riode postnatale. Elle englobe toute une s\u00e9rie d'exp\u00e9riences - des changements d'humeur temporaires comme le \"baby blues\" \u00e0 des troubles plus graves tels que.. :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>D\u00e9pression du post-partum (DPP)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anxi\u00e9t\u00e9 post-partum<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Troubles obsessionnels compulsifs (TOC) du post-partum<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Psychose du post-partum<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Traumatisme de la naissance et SSPT<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These conditions can affect anyone, regardless of age, culture, background, or parenting experience. And they are far more common than most realize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selon la <a href=\"https:\/\/cpmhc.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Collaboration canadienne en sant\u00e9 mentale p\u00e9rinatale<\/a>, approximately 1 in 5 new mothers in Canada will experience a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder (PMAD). And yet, due to stigma, fear of judgment, or lack of support, many go undiagnosed and untreated. Even those who feel \u201cfine\u201d can struggle with sleep disruptions, relationship tension, body image changes, and the emotional overwhelm of preparing for a new role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pourquoi est-elle si n\u00e9glig\u00e9e ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Les probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 mentale de la m\u00e8re se cachent souvent \u00e0 la vue de tous. Les nouvelles mamans peuvent \u00eatre f\u00e9licit\u00e9es pour avoir \"tout fait\" alors qu'elles s'effondrent discr\u00e8tement sous la pression. Les m\u00e9dias sociaux peuvent amplifier les sentiments d'inad\u00e9quation en pr\u00e9sentant des images parfaites de la parentalit\u00e9. Et culturellement, on s'attend souvent \u00e0 ce qu'elles soient infiniment reconnaissantes, ce qui laisse peu de place pour parler du chagrin, de la perte d'identit\u00e9, de la peur ou de la rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Si l'on ajoute \u00e0 cela les changements hormonaux, l'\u00e9puisement physique, les changements d'identit\u00e9 et les hauts et bas \u00e9motionnels du d\u00e9but de la parentalit\u00e9, il n'est pas \u00e9tonnant que tant de m\u00e8res aient l'impression de se noyer en silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Postpartum Symptoms Can Look Like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not just about sadness. Postpartum anxiety often shows up as irritability or anger rather than tears, which is one reason it gets missed for so long. Maternal mental health struggles can take many forms: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sentiment de d\u00e9tachement par rapport \u00e0 votre b\u00e9b\u00e9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irritabilit\u00e9 ou col\u00e8re intense<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pens\u00e9es obs\u00e9dantes ou inqui\u00e9tudes persistantes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Culpabilit\u00e9 et honte, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit de \"ne pas \u00eatre assez\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficult\u00e9s de sommeil (au-del\u00e0 de la perte de sommeil typique du nouveau-n\u00e9)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pens\u00e9es intrusives ou effrayantes que vous ne voulez pas avoir<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sentiment d'engourdissement, de vide, ou l'impression de ne faire que subir les choses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>None of this means you&#8217;re failing at motherhood. Postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and postpartum OCD are recognized health conditions, and you don&#8217;t have to carry them alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Resiliency Clinic, our Ottawa therapists support parents through pregnancy, postpartum, and the identity shifts that come with a new baby, in person or by secure video across Ontario and Quebec. Registered clinical psychologist and founder Michelle Sorensen reads every new inquiry herself and matches you with a therapist who fits what you&#8217;re carrying, including clinicians trained in perinatal mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ce que vous pouvez faire (ou encourager les autres \u00e0 faire)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Si vous ou l'un de vos proches \u00eates en difficult\u00e9, voici quelques mesures de soutien \u00e0 prendre :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Tendre la main<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Parlez \u00e0 un prestataire de soins de sant\u00e9 de confiance, \u00e0 un professionnel de la sant\u00e9 mentale ou \u00e0 un groupe de soutien. De nombreux th\u00e9rapeutes sont sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s dans les soins p\u00e9rinatals et postnatals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Soyez honn\u00eate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dites ce qui se passe. Dire \"Je ne vais pas bien\" peut \u00eatre l'une des premi\u00e8res \u00e9tapes les plus puissantes et les plus curatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Priorit\u00e9 au sommeil et \u00e0 la nutrition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cela semble simple, mais le sommeil et l'alimentation sont essentiels \u00e0 l'humeur et \u00e0 la capacit\u00e9 d'adaptation. Demandez de l'aide si vous le pouvez - le repos n'est pas un luxe, c'est un m\u00e9dicament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Limiter la comparaison sociale<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mutez, unfollow, faites une pause. M\u00e9nagez votre espace en ligne pour prot\u00e9ger votre \u00e9tat mental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Abandonner le mythe de la \"m\u00e8re parfaite<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Il n'y a pas de \"bonne\" fa\u00e7on de materner. Se montrer avec amour et pr\u00e9sence - m\u00eame dans l'imperfection - est plus que suffisant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perinatal and Postpartum Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To every mother navigating the quiet ache, the foggy days, or the inner turmoil behind the baby photos: you are not broken, and you are not alone. Your mental health matters, not just for your child, but for you. Motherhood can be beautiful, and it can be exhausting in ways no one prepares you for. There is room here for all of it, and for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The worry does not always end with the newborn stage.
