Adrienne Griffen founded Postpartum Support Virginia some 10 years ago, wanting to bring maternal mental health issues “into the light” where women can get help. “Postpartum depression and maternal mental health disorders are the number one complications of pregnancy and childbirth, but are usually misdiagnosed or ignored. It’s estimated that only 15 percent of women who suffer from some form of pregnancy or postpartum mental illness report their symptoms or get the treatment and support they need. We need this to end.”
