Postpartum Depression Symptoms
Many new mothers experience a brief period of sadness and hopelessness after the birth of their baby known as the "baby blues." It is important to talk to your GP or health visitor about these feelings.
In some cases the new mother may develop something even more grave called postpartum psychosis. This can lead to hallucinations and lack of sleep, and also thoughts of harming the mother or baby. Hospitalization may be required.
1. Feelings of despair or hopelessness
If you are experiencing extreme feelings of despair or a sense of worthlessness It's an indication that you need to consult an expert in mental health right away. It is also important to tell your doctor if you are thinking about suicide or have thoughts of hurting yourself or your child. These are potentially dangerous signs that should not be ignored. These early symptoms of major depression can also be a sign of more severe forms of postpartum depressive disorders, like postpartum schizophrenia.
Antidepressant medication is the most commonly used treatment for PPD. This will balance the brain's chemicals that affect your mood. Your doctor will recommend the medication that is best for you according to your symptoms and if you're nursing. Talk therapy is also a popular treatment. Your doctor may recommend specific therapy methods, such as cognitive behavior therapy or interpersonal therapy. Some support groups help women suffering from PPD.
