What is postnatal depression?

Postnatal depression, also known as postpartum depression, is a type of mood disorder that affects some women after giving birth. It typically develops within the first few weeks or months after childbirth, but it can also emerge up to a year after the baby is born. Postnatal depression is more severe than the "baby blues," a milder and shorter-lasting form of emotional distress that many new mothers experience.

Symptoms of postnatal depression can vary but may include:

  1. Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or low mood
  2. Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
  3. Fatigue or lack of energy
  4. Insomnia or excessive sleep
  5. Changes in appetite or weight
  6. Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  7. Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
  8. Anxiety or irritability
  9. Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
  10. Difficulty bonding with the baby or excessive worry about the baby's well-being

The exact causes of postnatal depression are not entirely understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of physical, emotional, and hormonal factors. Risk factors may include a history of depression, inadequate social support, and experiencing significant life stressors during pregnancy or after childbirth.
