About this Event

A film by Lee S. Cohen, M.D, Directed by Julia Marchesi

More Than Blue is a groundbreaking new documentary that illuminates the faces and voices of postpartum depression across America. Through the real stories of families across the country, the film shines a light on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders – too often unseen, unheard, or misunderstood.

While we have come a long way over the last decade in terms of screening patients, most individuals experiencing conditions like postpartum depression, anxiety, or psychosis still go undiagnosed or untreated. We need to do better. Pairing personal stories with expert insights, the film aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and ensure mothers receive the care they need to recover and heal. More Than Blue is both a testament to the strength of families and a call to action – grounded in the science and stories – to ensure that no one suffers in shame or silence.
