What is Postnatal Depression?

Postnatal depression, also known as postpartum depression, is a type of mood disorder that affects women after childbirth. It goes beyond the common "baby blues" and involves persistent sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, and emotional disconnection that can make it difficult for new mothers to care for themselves or their babies.

This condition can occur within the first few weeks after birth or even months later. It’s often triggered by hormonal changes, emotional stress, sleep deprivation, and the adjustment to motherhood.

Symptoms of Postnatal Depression

1. Persistent low mood or feelings of sadness
2. Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
3. Fatigue or lack of energy
4. Difficulty bonding with the baby
5. Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, or hopelessness
6. Anxiety or panic attacks
7. Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
8. Thoughts of self-harm or difficulty coping
