520 |a Pregnancy often comes with the expectation that women will be joyous. However, many women experience anxiety, depression, and stress during pregnancy, and many are too ashamed to seek help. In her 25 years in medicine, Dawn Kingston has found that one in four women struggle with their mental health during pregnancy--a higher rate than after giving birth. Untreated mental health concerns can last long after birth, impacting both mother and child's long-term wellbeing. Dr. Kingston removes the stigma surrounding mental health during pregnancy, debunks the myth that hormones are the cause, and guides readers through what to expect and how they can decrease the negative effects of many common triggers for mental health challenges.
