Mental Health in South Bend
Care that treats the whole picture.
Candescent provides mental health services shaped around each patient. Two areas we focus on in particular: perinatal and postpartum depression, and mental health that overlaps with sexual health.

Perinatal and postpartum depression
The anatomic, physiologic and psychological changes of pregnancy, of pregnancy loss, and of the postpartum period all raise the risk of depression. Changing family dynamics and the expectations people set for themselves add to it.
It is common and it responds to treatment. Recognizing it is the hard part; the rest we can help with.
The overlap
Sexual health concerns and mental health concerns often arrive together, causing real distress to patients and their partners. We take a holistic and comprehensive approach to both rather than treating one and referring the other away.
