Postpartum Depression
-
Postpartum depression is surprisingly common and our society doesn’t do that great a job identifying women who are suffering from this problem. This disorder can impact the health and well-being of your newborn child, and be a very negative experience for you. This type of depression and/or anxiety can affect any woman, regardless of age, income, birth experience, health, or previous history, so all women and families need to be alert for symptoms. Postpartum depression is more common in women with a history of depression or previous postpartum depression.
