Mental Illness: A Joyously Dark Time - How to Deal with Postpartum and Still Enjoy your Baby Postpartum depression (PPD) is often referred to as “baby blues” and not
understood by the majority of society, many times least of all the new mother!
More than 50 percent of women who give birth experience this form of depression
in some degree. The length of time that postpartum depression lasts can vary
from a few weeks to months or longer. A woman’s body is going through immense
hormonal changes and this may one of the factors that initiate postpartum
depression. Add to that the new mother is sleep deprived, the baby is crying and
requires what seems like non-stop attention and the normal reasoning can be
thrown right out the window. Usually the new mother’s body rebounds, the
hormones level out, the routines are figured out and everyone is smiling and
hopefully sleeping again.
There are some new mothers and even mothers who have had more than one child who
do not follow this pattern and they will experience a severe from of postpartum
depression. Along with the normal new mother experiences she will also
experience anxiety, insomnia and irritability along with difficulty
concentrating and a deep, overwhelming sadness that she can’t seem to explain
and of course this will magnify all the other symptoms over again and she is now
in a horrible cycle of depression. Other factors that contribute to this form of
depression include, lack of family support, possible history of depression
either in herself or other members of her family and negative experiences in her
life. The new mother will respond well if she takes antidepressants, which will
help balance, those hormones once again.

Mental Illness: Post Partum Depression - Yes, It's Real
Post partum depression is a type of depression that occurs after one has a child. One to three new mothers are affected by post partum depression. As time goes on, those who have been through post partum depression and are studying its effects are learning more about what causes it and why.
Even if you have never had depression before, you may still be affected by post partum depression after you have a child. Post partum depression is known to occur four weeks after your child is born, however, it has been known to occur later. Those who suffer from post partum depression once will have a chance of suffering from the same depression if they decide to have a second child.
There are several different reasons why doctors believe women get post partum depression after they give birth. One major reason that is believed to be related to post partum depression is a change in hormones. Because of the consistent increases and changes in lifestyle that has occurred while in pregnancy, there are adjustments to make after a baby is born. These bodily changes may trigger something in a new mother that causes the depression. Another reason behind post partum depression may be a result of social and psychological insecurities. When one has a new baby, it will cause several changes to occur around her. This may be in social and familial relationships which may not be positive, causing the depression to occur.
