Perinatal and Postpartum Maternal IOP Services
We support mothers and new parents who may be in emotional pain and distress. A good candidate for an intensive outpatient program (IOP) typically does not require inpatient hospitalization. IOP attendees can typically manage their behavioral health while maintaining daily routines and important home responsibilities.
Coping skills for maternal mood swings and anxiety disorders
After giving birth, 1 in 7 women may experience depression, helplessness and panic, which fall under the umbrella of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD). In this case, Spring Mountain therapists and psychiatrists can tailor a treatment plan to help stabilize and regulate the patient’s moods and coping skills before and after having a baby.
Postnatal depression can develop gradually and be hard to recognize. Some parents may self-isolate and avoid talking to family and friends about how they’re feeling, They may worry about being judged harshly for not coping or appearing happy.

PMAD is not a case of the baby blues
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are usually intense, last longer and can prove debilitating if left untreated. A healthcare professional can make the key diagnosis, so it’s important to discuss symptoms and post-pregnancy fears with a doctor right away if you begin to experience:
- Intense sadness
- Guilt and overwhelm
- Substance use
- Not bonding with baby
- Depression and anxiety
- Thoughts of self-harm
