Overview
An August 2023 Washington Post article reported that "one in five new mothers in the U.S. suffers from mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy and up to a year after giving birth—about 800,000 mothers yearly." Yet studies show that a large majority of women who suffer from maternal mental health disorders aren’t able to get help. Good Moms Have Scary Thoughts is the help mothers need.
