Common Questions

Questions Answered about Treatment in Monticello, MN

How is postpartum depression different from the baby blues?

The baby blues are mild and usually pass within two weeks. PPD is more intense and persistent, lasting longer and interfering with daily life. If symptoms linger beyond two weeks, it’s worth reaching out.

Can I take medication while breastfeeding?

Often, yes. Many treatment options are considered compatible with breastfeeding, and we’ll carefully weigh the choices with you to fit your situation.

Does having PPD mean I’m a bad parent?

Absolutely not. PPD is a medical condition caused by many factors — not a reflection of your love or ability as a parent. Seeking help is an act of strength and love.

Can partners experience postpartum depression?

Yes. Any parent can experience depression after a baby arrives. Support here is for you, too.

Do you accept insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans. During your consultation, we’ll help you verify your specific benefits.
