Elaine DeaKyne was excited about her first pregnancy and, physically, she sailed through it without complications. Looking back, she recalls feeling anxiety during her third trimester, but she didn’t bring it up with her doctors because, as she says, “I didn’t know it was something I should talk about.” Her anxiety heightened after her daughter was born, but DeaKyne had no way of knowing that what she was experiencing was a symptom of maternal depression and could be identified and treated by professionals. No one offered her a mental health screening during her pregnancy or at her six-week follow-up check-up. No one discussed the risk and prevalence of maternal depression with her or empowered her to seek help.
