Sometimes women suffer from depression
immediately after the birth of a child and this depression is known as
Postpartum Depression. There are five types of postpartum depressants, none of
which can occur after the birth of a child; although similar depression may
occur before or during pregnancy.
This is a common problem and overall
statistics say that approximately 80% of women are suffering through "baby
blues". We all know as postpartum depression.

Symptoms of Postpartum Depression |
Remember it; Level of intensity varies
from one woman to another. Somewhere between 10% and 20%, there is a hard time
dealing with this issue that can eventually translate into other areas. The biggest problem is that when you start to
develop mood disorders that affect everyone, and then there is life around you.
Causes
of Postpartum Depression: - There are many postpartum help available today,
and it starts by understanding the causes of depression that contribute to the
overall issue.
Hormonal
Imbalances: - This is one of the biggest culprits for postpartum depression. When you are pregnant, then the level
of estrogen and progesterone hormone increases significantly. It is a huge
hormonal swing, and can have a significant effect which leads to depression.
Another point is that when your
thyroid hormone closes the face of the earth, it may also cause you to be
depressed.

Cause of Postpartum Depression |
Exhaustion:
- Anyone would agree that a woman's body goes through a huge change
during pregnancy. There are so many labors involved and then some of you have
to go through breastfeeding too. The signs and symptoms are more intense and
lasting, eventually interfering with your ability to take care of your child
and handle other daily activities.
Stress:
- No woman understands the full meaning of the word
"mother" until you have to become one. Continuous adjustment, taking
a child first and taking your other obligations can be quite heavy. You with
situations. Once you start believing you become a perfect mother and if you cannot
be a good one then it result in postpartum depression. You can feel less
attractive, fight with your sense of identity, or feel that you have lost
control of your life.
How
to avoid it: - Your doctor may monitor the proximity to depression signs and
symptoms that you may complete a depression screening questionnaire during your
pregnancy and after delivery. Sometimes the support of mild depression can be
managed with group, consultation or other therapy. In other cases,
antidepressants can be recommended - even during pregnancy.
