Prevention Alternative names Depression - postpartum Definition Return to top The first month after a delivery (the post-partum period) is a time of major changes for women. Their hormones and weight are rapidly readjusting. There may be new and stressful changes in relationships with other children, the father of the baby, parents and in-laws, colleagues at work, and friends. Of course, the new baby needs almost constant attention and feeding every two hours, resulting in sleep deprivation. All of these factors can contribute to post-partum mood swings. If the moodiness only lasts 2 -3 weeks and then goes away, it's commonly called the "baby blues". This natural reaction to stress is experienced by more than half of new mothers. However, if the feelings of depression or anxiety continue more than three weeks , a more serious condition called post-partum depression may exist. About 10% of women experience significant depression after a pregnancy.

Site Map Tell a Friend Overview Causes Symptoms Treatments Postpartum Psychosis Postpartum Depression: Overview Postpartum depression and the more severe postpartum psychosis are of major concern today, especially to new mothers or soon-to-be moms. Postpartum depression is also known as postnatal depression , or simply as the acronym PPD What Are the "Baby Blues"? Feeding, diapering and taking care of a new baby can be overwhelming. Forty to 85 percent of women experience intense highs and lows as they adjust to life with a new baby. Feeling anxious and crying for reasons she can't explain are actually normal behaviors for the mother of a new baby. With feedings every few hours, the mother of a new baby is likely to feel tired and have trouble falling asleep after a deep sleep has been interrupted. She may have trouble concentrating and probably feels irritable. Sudden weight gain and weight loss are both normal, as are fluctuations in appetite. These are symptoms of the "baby blues." According to most research, these symptoms may last several weeks, often peaking during the first week following delivery. They usually go away by themselves. If feelings of sadness persist more than a few weeks, a woman may be suffering from postpartum depression. How can you tell the difference?

What are symptoms of depression? ... Depression What is depression? Depression can be described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or down in the dumps. Most of us feel this way at one time or another for short periods. But true clinical depression is a mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration interfere with everyday life for an extended time. Depression can be mild, moderate, or severe. The degree of depression, which your doctor can determine, influences how you are treated. How common is depression during and after pregnancy? Depression that occurs during pregnancy or within a year after delivery is called perinatal depression . The exact number of women with depression during this time is unknown. But researchers believe that depression is one of the most common complications during and after pregnancy. Often, the depression is not recognized or treated, because some normal pregnancy changes cause similar symptoms and are happening at the same time. Tiredness, problems sleeping, stronger emotional reactions, and changes in body weight may occur during pregnancy and after pregnancy. But these symptoms may also be signs of depression.

Skip navigation Focus on Women's Health Article Postpartum Depression Postpartum depression can have tragic consequences to the mother and her relationship with her infant and family. It is a problem that has received far too little attention despite its prevalence. Each year in the United States, approximately half a million new mothers suffer from postpartum depression; unfortunately, the majority of these women do not seek help. New mothers often feel embarrassed or ashamed that they are not feeling the joy and fulfillment which "society" says should come with motherhood. Some depressed mothers even assume that the way they feel is not abnormal and never seek support. Untreated, postpartum depression has adverse consequences for both the mother and child. Postpartum mood disorders include the postpartum blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis. Although these three disorders are distinct, there is some overlap between them. Baby Blues The blues affect from 50 to 80% of postpartum women . Symptoms include tearfulness, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, poor concentration, sadness and mood changes. These symptoms are generally mild and short-lived. They usually start within 3-4 days after delivery and disappear by 10 days after delivery. Symptoms typically last for just a few minutes or hours each day for only a few days. The transient, sporadic, and limited nature of the blues, which usually comes and goes for short time periods, requires no treatment except for reassurance and support.
