The journey to parenthood can be a profound and transformative experience, filled with joy, challenges, and transitions. However, for many, it can bring the potential for mental health challenges, including postpartum depression (PPD). PPD is a condition that can affect anyone, regardless of their history or circumstances. It is essential to recognise and address it within the LGBTQIA+ community, where unique challenges and experiences can shape how one navigates this journey. In this guide, we’ll explore what PPD is, how it affects new parents, and offer insights specifically tailored to LGBTQIA+ parents facing this challenge.
