Understanding Postpartum Depression
Definition
Postpartum depression is a medical condition that can develop after childbirth. It may involve persistent sadness, anxiety, irritability, exhaustion, or difficulty functioning and caring for yourself or your baby.
The “baby blues” commonly involve mild, short-term emotional changes during the first two weeks after delivery. Symptoms that are severe, persist beyond two weeks, or interfere with daily life may indicate postpartum depression and should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.
