WHAT IS Postpartum Depression?
Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a mood disorder that affects some women after childbirth. It’s characterized by feelings of sadness, anxiety, and despair that can interfere with daily life and caregiving responsibilities. While it’s common for new mothers to experience “baby blues” – mood swings, crying spells, and irritability – PPD is more severe and persistent.
Common symptoms
- Persistent sadness, tearfulness, or hopelessness
- Extreme fatigue or loss of energy
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much
- Difficulty bonding with the baby
- Irritability or anger
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Thoughts of harming oneself or the baby.
Postpartum depression can impact not only the mother’s well-being but also the baby’s development and the family dynamic. It’s essential for new mothers experiencing symptoms of PPD to seek help from healthcare providers. Treatment may include therapy, medication, support groups, and lifestyle changes. With appropriate support and treatment, women with PPD can recover and enjoy a fulfilling experience of motherhood.
