Talking about mental health challenges should be as normal as talking about a backache. When we open up, we make it easier for everyone to seek the help they might need without fear.  Evaluate benefits and side effects of any treatment option, including a relatively new postpartum depression pill, which has been shown to improve depressive symptoms within 3 days and may be covered by your health plan.Inform yourself. Familiarize yourself with emotional changes that can come with pregnancy and the postpartum period. Learning about common experiences and knowing when things may be veering into more serious territory can be immensely helpful.Seek support: Don't hesitate to ask your personal or professional networks for help. A trusted healthcare provider can guide you to the right level of support, such as talking to an expert in person or virtually, or joining a network or discussion group about this issue. Your family and friends can be there for you by listening, offering the voice of experience, or even helping with household chores to allow you time to rest. Remember that taking action early is a proactive step toward maintaining your mental health. It's a sign of strength.If you are the partner or friend of a new mom, be comfortable with talking to her about mental health care options if you sense it is necessary.
