PSI Supporting Parents in Crisis

eoy 2024

Although Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHDs) affect an estimated 800,000
new parents each year, the topic of mental health can be a mystery to many. PSI
wants to change the story by sharing YOUR story and breaking the silence about
PMH Disorders.

Aunque los trastornos de salud mental perinatal (PMHDs por sus siglas en inglés) afectan cada año aproximadamente a 800,000 nuevos padres, el tema de salud mental puede ser un misterio para muchos. PSI quiere cambiar la historia compartiendo TU historia y rompiendo el silencio sobre los trastornos de salud mental perinatal.

“The stress and mental health challenges faced by parents — just like loneliness,
workplace well-being and the impact of social media on youth mental health —
aren’t always visible, but they can take a steep toll. It’s time to recognize they
constitute a serious public health concern for our country. Parents who feel pushed
to the brink deserve more than platitudes. They need tangible support.” — U.S.
Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy

“El estrés y los problemas de salud mental que enfrentan los padres, al igual que la soledad, el bienestar en el lugar de trabajo y el impacto de las redes sociales en la salud mental de los jóvenes, no siempre son visibles, pero pueden tener un alto costo. Es hora de reconocer que constituyen un grave problema de salud pública para nuestro país. Los padres que se sienten al borde del abismo merecen algo más que lugares comunes. Necesitan apoyo tangible”. -Dr. Vivek H. Murthy, Cirujano General de los Estados Unidos.

Studies show that 1 in 5 perinatal individuals may experience perinatal depression or
anxiety. These individuals may also experience other Perinatal Mental Health
conditions like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder,
Bipolar, and Postpartum Psychosis.

Los estudios muestran que 1 de cada 5 personas perinatales pueden sufrir depresión o ansiedad perinatal. Estas personas también pueden sufrir otros trastornos de salud mental perinatal, como trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo, trastorno de estrés postraumático, trastorno bipolar y psicosis posparto.
