Recognising Post Natal Depression Symptoms

The birth of a baby is a significant life altering event. It is essential to recognize the early signs of mental health issues of perinatal anxiety or depression and get help as soon as you begin to notice them.

Many people experience "babyblues" within the first few weeks following the birth. These feelings subside, but postnatal depression is more serious and needs medical treatment.

The majority of new parents will feel depressed at some point following the birth. If you're feeling depressed most days and lasts for more than 2 weeks, you may be suffering from postnatal depression (PND). PND is more serious than the "baby blues" many suffer from in the first week after the birth of their baby. It is, however, treatable and most people recover with the help of family, whanau, friends and professional support services.

This can cause you to become unresponsive to your baby and they could appear to frustrate or irritate you, especially when they cry out for attention or require comfort. It could also affect the way you care for your child and make it difficult to feed, change, and dress them.

People suffering from PND frequently lose interest in normal activities, like sleeping or eating and notice that their energy levels decrease. They may be withdrawn from their family and start to worry regarding their baby's health, or believe they are causing harm to them. Some people also develop symptoms of anxiety, such as anxiety about losing control or panic attacks.

Speak with a healthcare professional if you're having trouble connecting with your child. They can offer guidance on how to deal with the situation and could refer you to treatment like psychological therapy or medication. They can determine if the depression is normal or not, and what you can do to get better. If you're suffering from severe depression and are in need of help, you can be taken to a community mental health team that treats new mothers.
