Empowering Mothers: Moody Launches Innovative App Mode
Addressing Undiagnosed Mental Health Disorders
On this significant occasion, we highlight the alarming truth that 50% of maternal mental health disorders remain undiagnosed. Moody's newly introduced Pregnancy, Postpartum & Loss mode is designed to support mothers navigating these challenging periods, focusing on both mental health crises and experiences of pregnancy loss.
Recognizing the Emotional Toll of Pregnancy Loss
Research indicates that 1 in 5 women encounter perinatal mental health disorders, encompassing conditions such as anxiety and depression. Disturbingly, 50% of these cases do not receive a proper diagnosis. Furthermore, pregnancy loss affects a staggering 1 in 4 pregnancies, with 80% of women reporting ongoing emotional distress due to their experiences.
Understanding Hormonal Influences on Mental Health
Hormonal changes during pregnancy and postpartum periods can lead to mood fluctuations and anxiety, with 1 in 7 new mothers experiencing postpartum depression (PPD). Despite the prevalence of these issues, many existing pregnancy apps primarily focus on fetal development, often leaving emotional support to the side.
How Moody is Changing the Landscape for Mothers
The new mode offered by Moody offers various features that cater directly to women's needs:
- Hormonal Tracking – Gain insights into daily and weekly hormonal shifts that may affect mood, energy, and mental health.
- Wellbeing Insights – Learn how hormonal changes influence sleep quality, stress levels, emotions, and physical symptoms.
- Support for Postpartum & Loss – Personalized emotional and hormonal guidance for new mothers or those who have experienced pregnancy loss.
- Built by Women, for Women – Developed by an all-female tech team at Moody, reflecting authentic female experiences.
Voices of Support from Moody's Leadership
Amy Thomson, the CEO of Moody, shares her candid experience: "I had never faced deep depression until I encountered pregnancy loss. This experience made it clear how desperately we need to foster discussions and resources around maternal mental health. Our focus for this World Health Day on healthy beginnings and hopeful futures aligns with Moody's commitment to prioritizing the mental and hormonal health of mothers. Traditional apps often overlook these aspects, concentrating on fetal development instead."
Dr. Sohere Roked, a Women's Health Advisor at Moody, emphasizes the importance of clear, reliable information: "Personalized care is irreplaceable, but understanding hormonal changes is crucial for women’s wellbeing. Moody enables them to take control of their mental health by providing essential information."
Dr. Louise Rix, a Medical Advisor at Moody, points out an important issue: "The impact of hormones on mental health is one of the most neglected areas in women's health. I’m excited to be part of a tool that truly addresses this."
