Woman's Hospital Unveils Revolutionary Perinatal Mental Health Unit: A Lifeline for Struggling Mothers

In a groundbreaking move, Woman's Hospital in Baton Rouge is set to open the first inpatient perinatal mental health unit in Louisiana. This pioneering initiative aims to provide much-needed support for women grappling with mental health issues during and after pregnancy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that one in five women experience pre- and post-partum depression. Recognizing the urgent need to address this alarming statistic, Woman's Hospital has designed a specialized unit to help these women navigate their mental health journeys. A new chapter will be turning when the perinatal mental health unit officially begins its mission to change lives and offer hope to struggling mothers.
