Conversations at The Royal | Seeing Past the Pushing Point: Perinatal Mental Health

Postpartum depression can be difficult to recognize, especially when many emotional changes are common after childbirth. This session will explore what women and families should watch for, including what’s normal and when it may be time to seek help.

We’ll also highlight new research into the epigenetic biology of postpartum depression and how it may lead to a blood test that could identify risk during pregnancy. Learn how earlier insight could help reduce stigma, prepare support systems, and improve care for mothers and families.
