Recognising Post Natal Depression Symptoms Having a baby is a major change in your life.

The bonding process with your baby can be difficult Most new parents will experience some level of depression following the birth. If you're feeling depressed every day and lasts more than 2 weeks, you could be suffering from postnatal depression (PND).

It can also impact your ability to take care of your child and make it difficult to feed them, change them and get them dressed. People with PND might lose interest in everyday activities like sleeping or eating, and their energy levels will drop. They may also withdraw from their family and start to worry about their baby's health or feel they are harming them. Certain people experience anxiety symptoms such as panic attacks or fears of losing their control. Speak to a healthcare professional if you're having difficulty connecting with your child. They can offer advice about how to cope and may refer you for treatment, which could include psychological therapy or medications. They can tell you if the depression is normal and how to get better. If you're experiencing severe depression, you may be taken to a community mental health clinic that treats new mothers. 2. Feeling unworthy or guilt Post-natal depression is typically marked by feelings of guilt or guilt. This is because those who are experiencing this condition tend to blame themselves for all the negative events that happen in their lives.

Inattention loss in normal activities Many women who suffer from PND lose enthusiasm for their hobbies and social circle.

The baby blues is a term used to describe the feelings of sadness and anxiety that women feel after giving birth. These feelings of sadness and anxiety are normal, but shouldn't last for long. If they are present for more than a week it could be a sign of a more serious mental health issue, such as post natal depression.
