In the late summer of 2026, the news is full of coverage about postpartum mental health. While people are thinking a lot about this topic, we wanted to re-share a conversation with Dr. Ryan McDonald about common postpartum mental health concerns.

Dr. McDonald is a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology in the UW Department of Ob-Gyn. In this interview, he talks about postpartum mental health signs and symptoms, a variety of treatment and support options, and important resources for parents and families navigating postpartum depression or anxiety.
