Postpartum Depression (PPD), also called Postnatal Depression, is a type of mood disorder associated with childbirth, which can affect both genders.
Symptoms may include extreme sadness, low energy, anxiety, crying episodes, irritability, and changes in sleeping or eating patterns.
Onset is typically between one week and one month following childbirth.
PPD can also negatively affect the newborn child.
Postnatal Depression is suffered by a mother following childbirth, typically arising from the combination of hormonal changes, psychological adjustment to motherhood, and fatigue.
Postnatal Depression is a type of depression that many parents experience after having a baby.
It's a common problem, affecting more than 1 in every 10 women within a year of giving birth. It can also affect fathers and partners.
Many women feel a bit down, tearful or anxious in the first week after giving birth.
This is often called the "baby blues" and is so common that it's considered normal.
The "baby blues" do not last for more than 2 weeks after giving birth.
If your symptoms last longer or start later, you could have Postnatal Depression.
Postnatal Depression can start any time in the first year after giving birth.
Many women do not realise they have Postnatal Depression, because it can develop gradually.
