Struggling more than you expected after having a baby?
You’re not alone — and you’re not failing.
This gentle self-check quiz can help you understand what you’re experiencing and whether it might be postpartum depression or anxiety.
This quiz is not a diagnosis.
It’s simply a gentle way to help you understand what you're experiencing and whether reaching out for support may help.
The early months of motherhood can feel overwhelming, confusing, and incredibly isolating — especially when no one talks about the emotional side of postpartum.
This quiz was created by Hannah Short, LCSW, a Waco therapist specializing in postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and maternal mental health.
It won’t diagnose you.
But it will help you notice patterns, name your feelings, and understand whether support might help you feel more like yourself again.
This quiz is for you if:
You deserve clarity, validation, and support.
This quiz is a gentle first step.
Right after completing the quiz, you’ll receive a brief breakdown of your results — and what they might mean.
If your scores suggest postpartum depression or anxiety, you’ll get simple next steps and options for support.
If you choose to, you can also book a free 15-minute consult with me to talk about what you’re experiencing and explore whether therapy could help.
