Postpartum depression is considered a form of major depression and around 20% of mothers will experience PPD after childbirth. According to Mayo Clinic, women who leave PPD untreated often experience symptoms much longer, and in some cases, it may even become a chronic depressive disorder. This type of depression also has a ripple effect and can cause fathers to experience depression and children to experience emotional and behavioral issues as well. Find out more information here.
Psychiatric Disorders
One in 5 adults experiences a mental health condition every year. One in 17 lives with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Family, friends, and communities of those living with the mental illness are also affected.
Half of mental health conditions begin by age 14, and 75% of mental health conditions develop by age 24. The normal personality and behavior changes of adolescence may mimic or mask symptoms of a mental health condition. Early engagement and support are crucial to improving outcomes and increasing the promise of recovery.
Memory Care
Living with or caring for someone with memory or cognitive impairment comes with its own unique set of challenges.
