Are my postpartum mood swings baby blues or postpartum depression?
You knew that you might feel this way. Everyone says that this should be one of the most joyous times of your life. And it is. But right alongside it are the crying fits, the swing from feeling euphoric to deeply saddened.
Postpartum Depression: What is it and how to move forward?
Postpartum depression occurs within the first year after giving birth. Postpartum depression looks similar to typical depression, however, the main distinction is that it occurs after childbirth. Some risk factors for postpartum depression include: a history of depression, lack of support, isolation, life stressors, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, complications with pregnancy or birth, mothers of multiples, infertility treatment, women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and a thyroid imbalance.
