Mission Connection has published a new mental health guide for expectant mothers. The guide addresses prenatal and postpartum rage and highlights coping strategies to help women manage these conditions.
-- The latest guide from Mission Connection covers the often-overlooked issues of prenatal and postpartum anger and other extreme emotions that are common during and after pregnancy. Expectant mothers are invited to learn about symptoms of possible mood disorders, their long-term health risks, and evidence-based treatments that are offered by professionals.

Research estimates that one in eight new mothers experiences a prenatal or postpartum mood disorder. Within these conditions, rage is increasingly recognized as a symptom that requires specific attention.
Intense anger and irritability are common during pregnancy, often stemming from hormonal and stress-inducing physiological changes that affect mood. While this experience is shared among many expectant mothers, Mission Connection stresses the importance of understanding the potential risks associated with prolonged bouts of rage.
"Untreated, intense anger during pregnancy can lead to health consequences for both mother and baby," says a spokesperson. "Possible effects include an increased risk of placental abruption, where the developing fetus does not receive enough oxygen or nutrients. These emotions may also affect a baby's growth rate and sleeping patterns after they are born."
Although prenatal rage is not a formal clinical diagnosis, Mission Connection’s guide notes it is often a symptom of underlying perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), and it is also frequently associated with conditions like postpartum depression and anxiety.
To manage abnormally intense mood shifts during pregnancy, Mission Connection recommends maintaining a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and prioritizing sleep; journaling, mindfulness strategies, and open communication with a loved one can also help an individual cope with symptoms. While these self-care strategies are valuable, the resource also highlights that professional support can also be instrumental in managing symptoms.
According to Mission Connection, psychotherapy is an effective method for many mental health challenges, including pregnancy-related anger. Treatments often involve helping patients explore the triggers to their anger and irritation and learn about how to manage the extremes of their emotions.
In particular, women who experience persistent rage or depression after giving birth may be suffering from a postpartum mood disorder, and will experience the most benefits from professional care.
