Postpartum Depression

📋Overview

Postpartum Depression involves intense feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion that can interfere with a person's ability to care for themselves or their infant. While many new parents experience a brief period of "baby blues" shortly after delivery, this condition is distinguished by its greater severity and longer duration.

This condition is recognized as a serious mental health concern that may develop at any point during the first year after giving birth. It represents a significant shift in mood that persists beyond the initial weeks of the postpartum period.
