Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

Postpartum Depression and Anxiety can be life-altering and create chaos and sadness in a time that is supposed to be joy-filled! An estimated 15 percent of women (or 1 in 7) develop symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety in the United States, around 600,000 women each year! Unfortunately, most medical providers either dismiss the symptoms as “Baby Blues”, or consider it a psychiatric disorder when some of it can be hormonal and easily corrected!

At Morning Star OB/GYN, we use a bioidentical progesterone injection to treat postpartum depression that we suspect to be hormonal, and symptoms resolve within ONE HOUR. We use a protocol from NaPro Technology. Click here for more information.
