Treatment for Postpartum Depression | Wellness TMS Can Help

Becoming a parent is supposed to be joyful. But for many, the experience is marked by sadness, fear, and emotional exhaustion. If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. Effective treatment for postpartum depression is available—and it works. Postpartum mental health care is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.

Here’s the shocking truth: Nearly 1 in 7 women experience postpartum depression (PPD), and many suffer in silence. Left untreated, PPD can lead to long-term depression, anxiety, and even thoughts of self-harm or harm to the baby. But there is hope—and it starts with knowing you deserve care.

At Wellness TMS, with locations in Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Torrance, we offer personalized support, including TMS therapy, Ketamine treatment, medication management, and a variety of therapy options like talk therapy, EMDR, and ACT. Our services are covered by insurance and tailored to your unique needs.

Why Postpartum Depression Deserves Serious Attention

Postpartum depression isn’t just the “baby blues.” It’s a serious mental health condition that affects not just mothers—but families, relationships, and even early childhood development.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” – Maya Angelou

PPD can show up as overwhelming sadness, constant worry, hopelessness, irritability, or disconnection from your baby. Many moms feel ashamed or afraid to speak up—but staying silent makes it worse. Getting help early changes everything.

Common Signs of Postpartum Depression

Crying more than usual or for no clear reason
Feeling numb or disconnected
Changes in appetite or sleep
Lack of interest in the baby or fear of being a bad mom
Thoughts of self-harm or harming the baby
Increased anxiety or panic attacks

If you recognize these symptoms, you’re not failing—you’re experiencing a treatable condition. The sooner you seek help, the sooner you can start feeling like yourself again.

Postpartum Mental Health Care That Actually Works

There are many approaches to postpartum mental health care, and most patients need a mix of options to heal. At Wellness TMS, we build a care plan just for you.

Talk Therapy

Talking with a trained therapist can help you process emotions, navigate guilt or trauma, and build confidence. Therapists use evidence-based methods like:

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): to manage negative thinking
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): to improve emotional flexibility
EMDR: especially helpful for birth trauma or prior abuse

Medication Management

For many women, antidepressants are part of the solution. Our providers offer thoughtful medication management to ensure minimal side effects and safe options—especially for nursing mothers.

Group Support and Counseling

Connecting with others who’ve been there can be healing. Many patients benefit from support groups, couples therapy, or parenting-focused coaching.

Innovative Options: TMS and Ketamine for Postpartum Depression

When traditional therapies aren’t enough—or when you want an option with fewer side effects—we also offer two powerful alternatives: TMS and Ketamine.

TMS Therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain linked to mood and emotional regulation. It’s FDA-approved for depression and increasingly used for PPD, especially when medication isn’t tolerated or wanted.

No medication or sedation required
Daily 20-minute sessions for 4–6 weeks
No long-term side effects
Covered by most insurance plans

In clinical studies, TMS has helped over 60% of women with PPD reduce symptoms within weeks. It’s ideal for those who need fast, non-invasive results.

Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine offers fast-acting relief for severe or treatment-resistant depression, including postpartum cases. In a safe, clinical setting, it helps reduce emotional numbness, suicidal thinking, and hopelessness—often within hours.

Wellness TMS offers ketamine therapy under close medical supervision to ensure safe outcomes and long-term recovery.
