May highlights Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Mental Health Awareness, spring, and Cinco de Mayo. We want to focus on families and mothers, acknowledging the significant changes and impact on mental well-being during the motherhood journey.
Being a mother is one of the most challenging jobs anyone can do. It's common for new mothers to experience struggles like postpartum depression (PPD), which affects 10-20 percent of them. This severe mood disorder can arise within the first year after birth, often sooner, due to hormonal shifts, stress, sleep loss, and genetics. Untreated PPD can severely impair a mother's ability to care for herself and her child, impacting the family. We encourage our readers and mothers everywhere to support each other and explore available resources in their local communities. See some of Philly’s below.
