Perinatal Psychiatrist in Sydney — Specialist Care for Pregnancy & Postnatal Mental Health
Compassionate Support for Pregnancy and Postnatal Mental Health
Having a baby can be one of life’s most rewarding yet challenging experiences. During pregnancy and after birth, many women feel vulnerable, anxious, or overwhelmed — and that’s completely normal.
In fact, 1 in 5 women experience some form of mood or anxiety disorder during the perinatal period (pregnancy through the first two years after birth).
At Dolphin Tribe, our perinatal psychiatrist in Sydney and Baulkham Hills provides expert, compassionate care to help mothers navigate the emotional changes that come with motherhood.
Understanding Perinatal Depression and Anxiety
Perinatal depression and anxiety can affect anyone — even those who appear strong and independent.
These conditions may look like:
-
Feeling sad, irritable, or disconnected from your baby
-
Lashing out at loved ones for no clear reason
-
Feeling guilty, exhausted, or unable to get out of bed
-
Overcompensating by doing too much or struggling to relax
If you recognise these feelings, you’re not alone, and effective, evidence-based help is available.
