One in five women will experience an episode of clinical depression in her lifetime and more than half will never seek treatment. Depression affects women about twice as often as men. Pregnancy and the postpartum period are frequently considered a time of great joy. When a woman experiences depression, anxiety, or symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, it can be a time of great confusion and uncertainty. Finding someone who has the clinical skill, expertise, and understanding to help define the problem and develop a plan of treatment can be frustrating. The staff of the Behavioral Health Services at Magee are equipped to do just that. Working with ob/gyns, social workers, and family members, our staff

provides education, support, and treatment.

To date, proceeds raised have contributed to the creation of parent support group sessions that enable new moms and dads to openly discuss how they are affected by anxiety and depression as well as find support among peers and professionals. Additionally, a newly renovated child care room has been constructed and will be staffed to allow those moms seeking counseling at our Intensive Outpatient group therapy location in Wexford to bring their children with them and have them cared for by our staff.

VEHOVIC FAMILY’S STORY

My family’s journey with Postpartum Depression was not unusual. It started after the birth of our son. Like so often, I thought everything was normal and going according to plan, but I had no idea the amount of pain or anxiety that was consuming my wife. On the outside she looked happy and engaged but, on the inside, she was overwhelmed and terrified. It wasn’t until that afternoon, about 7-10 weeks after delivery, I realized something was very wrong. I woke up from a nap after getting called into work overnight to find my wife sitting in the corner of the room crying. In that moment, I knew we had to get her help. After securing childcare for our son from family and friends, we made our way to the hospital. Over the next few days, we learned that my wife was suffering from Postpartum Depression Anxiety. After she received inpatient therapy, my wife was discharged into the Intensive Outpatient Program.

We faced many challenges and hurdles during this process like timely access to care, lack of disease specific therapy, and available resources for the spouse.

Even though this has been one of the most challenging periods in my life, being married to my wife and the birth of my son have been, and continue to be, the best moments that I will cherish forever. I hope to ensure the same for others.
