Supporting Mothers: Maternal Mental Health Week 2025
As we recognize Maternal Mental Health Week 2025, Maternal by Sentido is committed to breaking the silence around postpartum struggles that affect so many new mothers.
The Hidden Struggles of New Motherhood
Postpartum depression affects approximately 1 in 7 new mothers, while anxiety disorders impact nearly 1 in 5 women during the postpartum period. These conditions don't discriminate—they cross all social, economic, and cultural boundaries.
Why Speaking Up Matters
When we remain silent about maternal mental health challenges, mothers suffer unnecessarily. Studies show that early intervention can significantly improve outcomes, yet nearly 50% of mothers who experience symptoms never receive a proper diagnosis or treatment. By opening these conversations, we normalize seeking help and create pathways to recovery.

Taking Action Together
This Maternal Mental Health Week, we invite you to share your story, check on a new mother in your life, or simply help spread awareness. The journey of motherhood wasn't meant to be walked alone.
At Maternal by Sentido, we believe that supporting mothers creates stronger families and healthier communities. Let's make maternal mental health a priority not just this week, but every day.
