22.01.2022 Up to 1 in 10 women and 1 in 20 men struggle with antenatal depression and more than 1 in 7 new mums and up to 1 in 10 new dads experience postnatal depression ...each year in Australia. Anxiety is just as common and many parents experience anxiety and depression at the same time. Caring for someone with perinatal (during pregnancy or after birth) depression or anxiety can be confusing, stressful and demanding. If you're concerned that you (or someone you care about) may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety and/or depression - visit PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia) to learn more. www.panda.org.au
20.01.2022 Peach Tree is extremely proud to be a global partner in World Maternal Mental Health Day - which is happening on Wednesday 6th May. We joined this movement bec...ause we passionately want to direct our efforts into reducing the impact depression, anxiety and other mental illness can have on individuals and families during the time of life encompassing pregnancy, birth and early parenthood. We want to be part of the movement that de-bunks the myths around pregnancy and motherhood, reduces stigma, raises awareness about signs and symptoms, encourages early help seeking, advocates for accessible and affordable treatment options - and most importantly, lets women know they are not alone and there is a community of support available to them. You can help us, by sharing our posts this week that shine a light on maternal mental health! #maternalMHmatters #peachyparents

10.01.2022 Having a baby is both an exciting and challenging time. Adding anxiety or depression can make it difficult to function and feel like you are a good enough paren...t. Both women and men can experience perinatal (during pregnancy and the year after birth) mental health issues and these can vary in intensity and symptoms. To learn more about perinatal anxiety/depression visit the PANDA website or Facebook (@PANDAnational).

08.01.2022 Sometimes motherhood makes me feel like a fraud. Aren’t mothers meant to be patient and calm? Shouldn’t it have made me wiser and stronger and braver? The truth... is, I don’t feel wiser. I used to devour literature and watch history documentaries. Now I crawl into bed exhausted and watched reruns of problematic 90’s sitcoms. I don’t feel stronger. I used to be fearless. Now my heart feels palpably close to the surface. My mind racing to the worst-case scenario. As I film a cute moment a fleeting thought crosses my mind. What if it’s the last one. I don’t feel calmer. Anger can bubble up inside of me out of nowhere. A simple request to meet a basic need asked one too many times. A sudden spill and its not just water on the floor, as words and emotions tumble out of me. I don’t feel more patient. I used to work long days, and into the night on a single task, my attention sharply focused. Now my mind is all over the place. I’m reading a picture book, my thoughts drifting to tomorrow’s errands, losing track of my place on the page. Suddenly overcome with an urgent need to complete a task and as I say just a minute for the hundredth time that day, I realise the task wasn’t at all urgent. But my need to peel myself away was. I don’t feel brave. I fear judgement. I fear chaos. I have a general feeling of unease about things outside my control. I could lose everything at any moment. But if I feel that way, why aren’t I more patient and calmer? Why don’t I have the strength or wisdom to savour this moment? We celebrate the glorious parts of motherhood. But maybe we should also be celebrating the deeply profound parts of motherhood that break us down. Our moments of weakness aren’t shameful. They are acknowledging the fragility of what it is to be human. And they allow us to rebuild ourselves.

01.01.2022 Thank you to The Daily Edition for having us on today. Our CEO Arabella Gibson and NSW Minister for Mental Health, Women & Regional Youth, Bronnie Taylor MLC, s...poke about the warning signs of perinatal depression and anxiety, accessing support and our work in rural and regional Australia. "Warning signs can include feelings of anxiety and often insomnia - particularly when the baby is sleeping," said CEO of Gidget Foundation Australia Arabella Gibson. "Finding it difficult to bond with your baby, worrying excessively and not finding joy in things that you found happy and joyful should also be considered in the diagnosis." "We need to encourage people to put their hand up - and often the person themselves may not be able to do that," said Bronnie Taylor, NSW Minister for Mental Health, Regional Youth and Women. "When it comes to mental health, it's important for loved ones to encourage them to seek the services they need to get help." Watch the segment online now:
