What is postpartum depression?

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a type of depression that happens after childbirth, usually within the first 4-6 weeks or up to a year later. According to estimates, PPD affects 1 in 7 women (15%).

Having a baby can be a life-changing experience filled with mixed emotions, both positive and negative. You may feel excited, joyful, happy, anxious, or overwhelmed. However, if you are feeling overly sad, low, tired, worried, or find yourself crying frequently for no apparent reason, you may have postpartum depression.

Postpartum depression is a serious, long-term mental health condition that is different from baby blues, which usually go away on their own. While it is normal to feel a little low in the first few weeks post-childbirth due to hormonal fluctuations, frequent, long-lasting feelings of depression, sadness, and guilt can be a sign of PPD. It can affect your ability to properly take care of and bond with your baby if left untreated.

Signs of Postpartum Depression

The symptoms of PPD can vary in severity and duration. Common signs include:

Signs of Postpartum Psychosis

A serious condition, postpartum psychosis is different from PPD and requires urgent medical help. Its signs include:

Treatment for Postpartum Depression

There are different treatment options for PPD, that may be done in tandem or in isolation. These include:

Medication

Antidepressants like SSRIs are recommended for mothers undergoing severe depression or anxiety. However, women who are pregnant or nursing need to discuss their options with the doctor, as there is a slight risk involved.

Therapy

Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, is one way to manage postpartum depression. It is especially effective in cases where medication cannot be prescribed. Some techniques used include:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy

CBT helps identify negative thoughts, address behavioral patterns and implement meaningful changes. It prevents new mothers from spiraling and helps them learn better coping strategies. CBT is also effective in making new mothers more confident in their role.

Interpersonal psychotherapy

The focus of IPT is on interpersonal relationships that can help address the emotional aspect of PPD. IPT helps new mothers transition into their new roles better. It also helps them adapt better and build a sense of connection.

Other interventions

Getting support from family and friends can make a huge difference for mothers undergoing postpartum depression. Exercise and a good diet are also helpful for managing physical as well as emotional health.

Complications of Postpartum Depression

Postpartum depression needs proper treatment, as otherwise, it can lead to many complications, such as:
