371: Behind the Sessions: Signs and Symptoms of Postpartum Depression with Dr. Kat
Manage episode 445724520 series 1001024
In my therapy practice, I meet with moms at all stages of their reproductive journeys. It is a consistent thing that perinatal mental health conditions sneak up on people. Many new moms don’t know when to be concerned and when to seek help for perinatal depression, which can happen at any point in the reproductive journey and worsen in the postpartum. It’s important to notice the signs and symptoms. Let’s take a closer look!
Show Highlights:
- The “baby blues” vs. postpartum depression—”How do I tell the difference?”
- Symptoms that signify a deeper problem and possible postpartum depression
- Identifying issues with eating and sleeping patterns that could point to postpartum depression
- Postpartum depression differs in context from generalized depression.
- Feelings of failure, self-criticism, and isolation as a new mother
- “I FEEL bad because I AM bad.”
- Postpartum depression is relatively common (Around 20% of mothers will experience it.)
- Difficulty bonding with a new baby can indicate postpartum depression.
- Thoughts about the stigma of postpartum depression and the fear of judgment
- Good news! There is help and free support available. You CAN get better!
- Dr. Kat’s advice about what you can do RIGHT NOW
