How psychiatrists provide perinatal mental health support?
17 Dec 2024
Perinatal mental health refers to the emotional and psychological well-being of mothers during pregnancy and the first year after childbirth. This period is often filled with significant physical, hormonal and emotional changes, which can make women more vulnerable ...
Postpartum depression is a condition characterised by persistent feelings of sadness, low mood, and emotional distress that can affect women after childbirth. It can begin shortly after delivery and may last up to a year.
The primary causes are believed to be the significant hormonal changes that occur during and after pregnancy, alongside other imbalances that can impact a mother’s mood and emotional well-being.
While symptoms often resolve naturally over time, in some cases, they can become chronic and require professional intervention. A specialist can provide a thorough assessment and recommend appropriate treatment options, such as therapy or medication, to support recovery.
Postpartum depression is more intense than the “baby blues” and can significantly affect a mother’s ability to care for her baby. Common symptoms include:
Persistent sadness or low mood
Excessive crying
Intense anxiety, guilt, or worthlessness
Difficulty bonding with the baby
Loss of interest in activities
Lack of concentration or focus
Low energy and fatigue
Changes in appetite
Trouble sleeping or oversleeping
Difficulty completing daily tasks
Suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm
Intrusive thoughts of harming the baby
If these symptoms occur, seeking help from a healthcare professional is crucial.
