Working with Postpartum Depression and Anxiety
Dr. Azcarate-Ferbel’s special interest is working with mothers with postpartum mood disorders, including depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive and post-traumatic stress disorder. She has been working extensively with people diagnosed with depression and anxiety and has had great success in guiding patients through their healing.
Adriana is currently doing research on the physiological causes of perinatal mood disorders. By addressing the physiological factors, she uses nutrients, herbs and bio-identical hormones to replete the body and to return it to a more balanced state. She also balances energy of the body with different techniques including Reiki, chakras, and somatic re-education. Adriana also works with women who have chosen the use of medications.
Motherhood is an amazing part of life. It pushes you to develop skills, learn patience, communication, and even strengthen your personal spirituality. But when you are not feeling well, and your life is in a difficult situation, these opportunities are elusive and post partum mood disorders may occur. As a mother and a doctor of naturopathic medicine, Adriana is interested in supporting women through this difficult time, so they can reach a more peaceful state of mind to be able to care for their love ones and themselves. Dr. Azcarate-Ferbel believes that the mother’s health is essential for the well being of their children and their family, and her body deserves post partum healing and support.
I look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely, Adriana.
