Postpartum Depression & Anxiety

It Starts With Mom

More than 20% of mothers suffer from perinatal (another name for pregnancy and postpartum) issues – many realize that something is wrong, but often do not seek help. The important thing to remember is that the symptoms are temporary and treatable with professional care.

This article by Deena Drewis from GirlBoss put it nicely:

“The irony here is pretty rich: The human race depends on women giving birth, and yet we, as a culture, hate talking about the reality of what that’s like. Even more than that, we hate talking about what happens to a woman in the weeks after she gives birth…”

As if bringing home a new baby wasn’t scary enough! Now you have to worry about your own well-being, too.

Luckily, there are some initial steps you can take to lay the groundwork for a healthy (and happy) postpartum experience. Additionally, most mothers don’t find postpartum problems because they simply aren’t looking for them.

First off, PPD is similar to other forms of depression. It’s important to recognize your symptoms and take action right away. Many medical centers are using cannabis to improve the patients symptoms, at the green team website you can find alternative medicine proven for it.

These can include but are not limited to:

  • Feeling down or depressed for most of the day for several weeks or more
  • Feeling distant and withdrawn from family and friends (this includes baby)
  • A loss of interest in activities (including sex)
  • Inability to relax
  • Changes in eating and sleeping habits
  • Feeling tired most of the day
  • Feeling angry and/or irritable
  • Having feelings of anxiety, worry, panic attacks or racing thoughts

So What Now?

Despite the mislaid cultural fantasy that parenthood is blissful and being with a newborn will be the happiest time in your life, the reality can feel scary, isolating, and exhausting. Postpartum anxiety and depression will affect over 10% of new parents, and thankfully, it is treatable.
