833-TLC-MAMA is available by call or text 24 hours a day, seven days a week for postpartum depression support.
About 1 in 8 women experience postpartum depression, with contributors including hormonal and physical changes, severe sleep deprivation, birth trauma, prior anxiety or depression, stress and limited support systems.
Jessica Oates of Insight Clinical Counseling and Wellness said women with escalating symptoms should go to the emergency room and can also seek help from a primary care doctor or perinatal mood disorder specialist.
Oates urged OBs and pediatricians to screen for symptoms at every opportunity, reflecting the need for earlier detection and specialist involvement.
