While postpartum depression is acknowledged and understood as a possible part of the parenting experience, post adoption depression remains widely unacknowledged. The stress and anxiety leading up to adoption can feel overwhelming, and the transition to parenthood can be sudden and jarring. This webinar defines post adoption depression and discusses its prevalence, signs and symptoms, and how it may present differently in different people. We will review relevant research on post adoption depression, and discuss strategies for prevention and treatment. This webinar is appropriate for those experiencing post adoption depression, as well as those who are simply looking for more information on prevention and support.
