Depression – The Postpartum Kind
Online therapy is best suited to this; Counseling on Demand.com is here for you, Now
Your baby has arrived and all, especially you, are happy and excited. No? Why not? And isn’t it even more disturbing when all around you are deliriously ecstatic, but you feel forced to hide what you really feel inside- disconnected from your little one, even hurting it, personal loneliness, sadness, unexplained hopelessness, maybe even suicidal?
You are not alone. Here are the stats:
- A whopping 85 percent of new moms feel some sadness after their baby is born — but for up to 16 percent of women, that sadness is serious enough to be diagnosable. (Chris Iliades, MD| Medically reviewed by Pat F. Bass III MD, MPH)
- The United States Preventive Services Task Force has called for maternal depression screening. One in nine infants has a mother with severe depression, and more than half live with a mother experiencing some level of depression.
Many mothers with depression, including more than a third with a major depressive disorder, go untreated. Unfortunately, untreated maternal depression hurts children, particularly young children, placing their safety and development at risk.
And, by the way, Fathers, you should not be forgotten either.
