So, women should be screened for postpartum depression early. Related Links Part 2: Symptoms of Postpartum Depression Part 3: Diagnosing Postpartum Depression Part 1: Baby Blues vs. Postpartum Depression By Andrea Pennington, M.D. Postpartum depression has become a household topic of discussion in the wake of a recent tragedy where a woman, reportedly suffering from the condition, systematically drown her five children. This has left many wondering how this kind of illness could cause someone to do such a thing. Here is some insight on the topic. Many women experience some degree of mood alteration after the birth of a child. In fact, 50 percent to 80 percent of women complain of uncontrollable weepiness and sadness in the first few days immediately following the delivery of the baby. These episodes are often referred to as the "baby blues." The usual duration is 3 to 7 days and they go away without medical intervention. Now the "baby blues" must be distinguished from a more serious depressive disorder known as postpartum depression. Postpartum depression can be a serious illness, endangering the life of both mother and child. It is not a rare disorder, it occurs in approximately 15% of women after childbirth.

Major Depressive Disorder Postpartum Depression Can Be Detected, Prevented By Wes J. Perry The Medical Post, October 22, 1996 MADRID, SPAIN - Pregnant women at risk for postpartum depression can be detected in time to institute preventive measures say researchers at New York's Columbia University's department of psychiatry. Dr. Veronika Solt headed a group which assessed 71 women for depression with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale at four to six weeks following parturition. Twenty women (28%) had a positive depression score. Charts of women with and without postpartum depression were compared with respect to social status, medical, obstetric and pregnancy history, delivery and infant characteristics. She told the Tenth World Congress of Psychiatry here, that women who developed depression were significantly more likely to be single, to lack social support and have an unwanted pregnancy, compared to subjects who did not become depressed. The women also attended fewer prenatal visits, were more likely to attend their first prenatal visit after 20 weeks gestation, have delivery stressors and give birth to infants with lower Apgar scores and lower average birth-weights; those differences, too, were significantly different from the group of nondepressed women. Dr. Solt said the prevalence of depression in the first six months following childbirth ranges from 7% to 15%, which warrants the identification of vulnerability factors to detect those at risk and institute timely preventive measures.

Advanced Search CMHA Locations Events Helpful Links ... Back to MH Pamphlet Series PostPartum Depression For every woman, having a baby is a challenging time, both physically and emotionally. It is natural for many new mothers to have mood swings after delivery, feeling joyful one minute and depressed the next. These feelings are sometimes known as the "baby blues", and often go away within 10 days of delivery. However, some women may experience a deep and ongoing depression which lasts much longer. This is called postpartum depression. References to postpartum depression date back as far as the 4th century BC. Despite this early awareness, it has not always been recognized as an illness. As a result, postpartum depression continues to be under-diagnosed. It is an illness that can be effectively treated. The sooner the condition is diagnosed, the more effective the treatment. It is important to recognize and acknowledge the symptoms of postpartum depression in yourself or another as soon as possible. This can be difficult, since the depressive feelings often involve intense and irrational feelings of fear. The mother may fear she is losing her mind or fear that others may feel she is unfit to be a mother.

Home Site Index Donate Contact Us ... Mailing List SEARCH Programs Home Cancer Mental Health Reproductive Health ... send page to a friend PROGRAMS Mental Health: Depression during Pregnancy and Postpartum - Symptoms Written by CRWH researcher Lori Ross Mood changes that occur during the postpartum period can generally be classified into three categories ( Ross et al The baby blues are a common experience amongst new mothers in the first days postpartum. They can include transient feelings of being overly happy/sad and bouts of unexplainable crying. The 'baby blues' usually resolve within two weeks and require no formal treatment. At the other end of the spectrum is postpartum psychosis. This affects only about 1 in every 500-1000 new mothers. Postpartum psychosis is extremely serious and always requires immediate professional intervention. The hallmark symptoms include disorganized thinking, bizarre behaviour, confusion, self-neglect, delusions, hallucinations or illogical/unreasonable thoughts, often about the baby (e.g. the child is possessed by the devil). More severe than the 'blues', and more common than psychosis, is postpartum depression. It affects between 10-15% of women after childbirth. It is one of the most common, and least often diagnosed, complications for new mothers. The term postpartum depression refers to symptoms of depression that occur during the first year postpartum; however, symptoms of depression are also common during pregnancy and seem to share many of the same risk factors and clinical features as symptoms of postpartum depression.
