What are PMADs?

Anxiety, irritability, rage, intrusive thoughts and images, trouble sleeping, difficulty making a decision - these are all symptoms of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Pregnancy and the transition into having a newborn are tremendously challenging, and many women and men develop some form of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD).

You are not a bad parent. You are not weak, ungrateful, or less than other parents you see who seem to be thriving. And you are not alone. Headway Counseling specializes in helping people experiencing symptoms of a PMAD to find relief and to move towards a life of thriving instead of feeling like you are drowning.
