Talking openly about depression and anxiety can help reduce the stigma and give others confidence to talk about it too. We invite you to share your experience of depression or anxiety during pregnancy or postnatally - this may be your own personal experience as a mother, partner, family member or friend. By speaking up, you will help reduce stigma and encourage others to get the help they need.
