Postnatal & Maternal Mental Health Care

Welcoming a new baby brings immense joy—but it can also lead to emotional challenges that many mothers don’t expect. If you're feeling low, anxious, detached, or overwhelmed after giving birth, you're not alone. At the American Wellness Center in Dubai, we offer caring, professional support for women adjusting to motherhood and its emotional demands.

Who This Is For

This service is ideal for women in Dubai who are:

  • Struggling with low mood or anxiety after childbirth
  • Finding it hard to bond with their baby or enjoy early motherhood
  • Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of parenting
  • Experiencing guilt, shame, or self-doubt as a new mother
  • Recovering emotionally after a difficult birth or traumatic delivery

Recognizing these feelings is the first step—professional support can help you find emotional balance and clarity during this major life transition.

Our maternal mental health services support:

  • Postpartum Depression: Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or lack of interest in life
  • Postpartum Anxiety: Racing thoughts, excessive worry, or fear of harm to the baby

  • Bonding & Attachment Issues: Feeling disconnected from your baby or difficulty forming a bond

These symptoms are more common than many realize—and with the right support, they are highly treatable.
