At Tikvaseinu, we are dedicated to caring for the women of Monsey who struggle with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

Most of the time I felt
like I was living in a fog.

I also felt a heavy sense of anxiety and stress, but couldn’t explain why. When the sun went down, I would dread the long nights ahead, spending most of my time in bed crying. I didn’t feel like myself and my husband had no idea what to make of me. I kept thinking it would pass, but it only got worse…

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are incredibly common,
affecting about 1 in every 5 women. But most importantly – they are treatable.

Tikvaseinu is here to support you on your journey to healing.

What is a Perinatal Mood
and Anxiety Disorder (PMAD)?

Many women experience some mild mood changes during the perinatal period (conception through one year post delivery.) 1 in 5 women will experience more significant symptoms of depression and or anxiety, which are the common signs for a Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder (PMAD).

People mean well, but they don’t always know enough.

With Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders, you can’t “shake it off” or “snap out of it”. You can’t will yourself to be more positive. The brain is a complex organ. Sometimes we fail to realize that mental illness, just like a physical illness, is real. There is no shame in getting help.
