So, long story short, my wife is about 5 months postpartum and she is really going through it. She is having the kind of anxiety that keeps her from sleeping, major depressive episodes, panic attacks, the whole 9. She has reached out to a few doctors where we live (Osaka prefecture) and they have all said some version "oh this is just a normal part of motherhood" and done nothing other than recommending daily walks and Chinese herbal medicines. I'm fucking livid personally. My wife isn't herself, she is struggling daily, and she is seeking help on her own and basically being told her problems aren't problems. So, I figure I'd ask y'all… Does anyone have any recommendations for a doctor or counselor that specializes in pregnancy/postpartum that will take these issues seriously and possibly prescribe real actual anxiety/depressant medication? She is down for tele-health or in person appointments, though if it's an in person office she'd prefer it if it were at least in our area.
