Recognising Post Natal Depression Symptoms

The birth of a baby is a significant life altering event. It is important to recognize the symptoms recognizing signs of depression depression or anxiety perinatally and seek treatment as soon as you notice these symptoms.

Many people experience 'babyblues' within the first few weeks following birth. These feelings pass but postnatal depression can be more serious and needs medical treatment.

1. Trouble bonding with baby

The majority of new parents experience some degree of depression after the birth. If you're feeling depressed every day, and it lasts longer than two weeks, you may be suffering from postnatal depression (PND). PND is more serious than the "baby blues" that many people experience in the week after the birth of their child. It is treatable, and most people recover from it with the support of their family, whanau and friends, as well as professional support services.

It isn't easy to bond with your baby when you are feeling depressed, since your emotions can cause problems with how you interact. It can cause you to become apathetic towards your child, and you might even appear annoyed or frustrated by them when they cry or need comfort. It could also hinder your ability to care for your child which makes it difficult to feed them or change them, and also dress them.

People suffering from PND tend to lose interest in daily activities, like sleeping or eating and experience energy levels drop. They might become withdrawn from their family and friends, and have irrational fears about the health of their infant or think they are causing harm to it. Some people develop anxiety symptoms such as panic attacks or a fear of losing control.

If you are having trouble connecting with your baby, speak to a healthcare professional as soon as you can. They can give advice on how to cope with the situation and may recommend treatment options like psychotherapy or medication. They can inform you whether the depression is normal and what you can do to improve. If you're suffering from severe depression, your physician may be capable of referring you to a community perinatal mental health service that specializes in treating new mothers.

2. Feeling worthless and guilt

Feeling worthless or guilty is a typical sign of post-natal depression. People suffering from this condition tend to blame themselves for the negative things that happen to them. It could also be due to past experiences in which a person was abused, neglected or made to feel inadequate. This can cause low self-esteem and low confidence which makes it more difficult to handle daily tasks.

It can be difficult for new parents to have children. It is crucial to seek assistance in the event that you, or someone you love is suffering from this. This can help reduce the symptoms and help you feel better.

Postnatal depression can be a problem for any person, regardless of age or the number of children they have. It can be present even during pregnancy (known as antenatal depression disorder). If you or someone you know is experiencing depression, encourage them to see their GP or health professional and don't be afraid seek help. With the proper treatment and support, the majority of people can make a complete recovery from PND. Being in contact with friends and family members can be beneficial, as it can help to keep the person feeling positive and help prevent isolation. This is especially beneficial if the symptoms are more severe or persistent.

3. Inattention loss in normal activities

Many women suffering from PND lose interest in their hobbies and friends. They are often not able to enjoy spending time with their infant and may be unable to make decisions, like whether or not to get up. They're typically exhausted but struggle to fall asleep because they are unable to relax or get into an enveloping, restful sleep. They may also lose appetite and eat much less than usual, sometimes putting on weight and feeling ashamed of it.

If the symptoms persist for more than two weeks, or are severe it is crucial to seek help. The cause is often by hormonal changes that happen during pregnancy and post-delivery. They could also be caused by other problems, such as stress in relationships or other life events.

Depression can occur at any time. It is particularly common during the first year after having children. It can also affect new fathers and partners. Depression can also cause issues for the child, including behavioural and emotional difficulties.

Depression can be treated with support and therapy. Therapy that involves talking, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and committment therapy are extremely efficient. Antidepressants are also commonly prescribed. Some are better suited to certain individuals than others. It's something that is determined by trial and error.

It is crucial to seek the support of family members, friends as well as family members and health care professionals.

Many of these relationships will recover after the mother's depression has been treated. Depression can lead to a range of other issues like anger, suicidal ideas and anxiety.

4. Change in appetite

The physical and emotional upheaval of having a child can be overwhelming. Many women experience a short period of time following the birth, which is known as the baby blues. These feelings of anxiety and sadness are normal, however they should be short-lived. If the feelings persist for more than a week, they may be an indication of a more serious mental health issue, such as post-natal depression.

Depressive moods can be caused by hormone levels that increase during pregnancy, but plunge dramatically following the birth. A change in appetite is also common in this type of condition. Sleep deprivation or fatigue can cause new mothers to feel hungry or suffer from decreased appetite.

An inability to eat can result in nutritional deficiencies and weight issues and can affect breastfeeding, as it can decrease the amount of milk produced. If a mother-to-be isn't eating enough, she should speak to her doctor or midwife (through Plunket) if she feels that they are not eating enough.

If you're supporting women who are pregnant or just had a baby and you notice any of these signs of depression returning it's crucial to ask them what they feel. If they are reluctant to talk to you, encourage the woman to make an appointment with their doctor or Plunket Health Visitor. You can also call the PANDA helpline at 1300 726 306. Don't suggest that they lose weight or critique their post-pregnancy body, or suggest they should consider eating more. Encourage and support them by giving positive feedback.

5. Physical slowing or agitation

Postnatal early depression symptoms can affect the family as an entire. She might withdraw from her family and friends, and not feel capable of caring for her child. They may also be concerned with the physical health of her baby and worry that something is wrong with them. This can lead to excessive guilt and the feeling that you are not a good parent.

Women with PND have access to support from their family or spouse, as well as others, including professional services or counsellors. These supports are crucial in the recovery process from PND.

People who have not had a mental crisis before may develop PND or have experienced depression or another mental illness can experience it after having a baby (as well as during pregnancy). Postnatal depression isn't an illness that only unlucky mothers suffer from. Even women who have a stable relationship and a lot support can suffer from it. It is thought that stress and anxiety can increase the likelihood of developing depression symptoms in seniors following the birth of the child.

The main treatment for postnatal depression is psychological (talking therapies) however, sometimes medications are prescribed as well. Combination treatments are usually used. It is crucial to discuss with your GP the advantages and disadvantages of each option.

If you are concerned about how you feel it is essential to seek out professional help. Tell your GP or midwife, or health professional about the symptoms you are experiencing. They will ask about your history, do an assessment and conduct an examination for health. It is important to be honest, as it will help them provide you the best care and support.
