It's not "Just" the baby blues, and you're not alone
Motherhood is often described as joyful, but for many new mothers, it also comes with sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, or feeling disconnected from the baby they love. At ORIGEN Healthcare, we provide a compassionate evaluation and honest conversation about what you're experiencing, so we can build a treatment plan that fits your life with a new baby.
We offer psychiatric evaluation, breastfeeding-informed medication guidance, and flexible telehealth visits, because we understand how hard it can be to get to an in-person appointment during the postpartum period.
Postpartum mental health concerns are medical conditions, not a reflection of your ability as a mother. With the right support, most women recover fully.
Why new mothers choose ORIGEN for postpartum care
The postpartum period comes with unique considerations: breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, and simply finding time to get to an appointment. Our approach is built around those realities.
- Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation for postpartum depression and anxiety
- Breastfeeding-informed guidance on medication risks and benefits
- Telehealth visits for both initial and follow-up appointments
- A safe, non-judgmental space to talk about difficult feelings, including intrusive thoughts
- In person in Omaha or by telehealth
Before starting care with Nazira, I was in a very difficult place. She took the time to thoroughly evaluate me, leading to an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment plan. Throughout the process, I faced many challenges, but she remained patient, dedicated, and never gave up on helping me improve.
Baby blues, postpartum depression, or something more?
Not all postpartum emotional changes are the same, and knowing the difference helps guide the right care.
Baby blues
Mild mood swings, tearfulness, and anxiety that typically resolve within two weeks after childbirth.
Postpartum depression
Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or difficulty bonding with your baby that lasts beyond the initial weeks. Affects roughly 15-20% of women.
Postpartum anxiety
Excessive worry, racing thoughts, or physical tension centered on your baby's safety or your ability to cope.
Postpartum psychosis: emergency warning
Postpartum psychosis is rare but a psychiatric emergency. Signs include confusion, seeing or hearing things that are not there, and beliefs that are not true. If you or someone you know has these signs, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room now. You can also call or text 988 at any time.
Signs you may benefit from postpartum support
If you don't feel more like yourself after the first couple of weeks, it may be more than the baby blues. A consultation with our provider is the best way to understand what you're experiencing and what support could help.
- Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or crying spells
- Difficulty bonding with your baby
- Overwhelming anxiety or racing, intrusive thoughts
- Withdrawing from your partner, family, or friends
- Changes in sleep or appetite beyond typical new-parent exhaustion
- Feeling like you've lost your sense of self

What patients say
4.9from 55 Google reviewsDr. Usmanova has changed my life. She has shown so much care and attention to me as a human being that I have a restored faith in medicine. She changed not only my medication but my outlook on life.
With all of my different medication and mental health needs she always has a solution and she always knows how to offer support. Even if one medication works she has a secondary option or even a third option to replace what if something doesn't work.
I cannot recommend ORIGEN Healthcare enough. From the moment you walk in, you feel truly heard and supported. Dr. Nazira and the entire team are incredibly professional, compassionate, and thorough in their approach to mental wellness. They take the time to create a personalized plan that actually works.
