Our specialists can:

• Order blood tests to measure your hormone levels to determine whether hormone imbalances are the underlying issue.
• Order brain-chemical testing, which is a simple urine test.
• Evaluate your diet and nutrition in the office, and counsel you on how diet and nutrition can affect mood.
• Offer you stress management and coping techniques.

After a through and caring evaluation, your provider will formulate a detailed treatment plan to help you to resolve whatever issues are causing your depression, sadness, or anxiety. All babies deserve to have a healthy mom, and all moms deserve the chance to enjoy their life and their children. Don’t suffer alone. If you are experiencing symptoms of depression during pregnancy or after having a baby, please tell a loved one and call your Ventana Wellness medical provider right away.
