Suffering in Postpartum Depression and Postpartum PTSD?

      New mom baby blues is a commonly referred to phenomenon. The extreme hormonal shifts following birth and the added stressors of the postpartum period can be difficult to manage. Simply stating that you are overwhelmed or need help can be a huge relief. Asking for help sometimes feels awkward or difficult, but you may be surprised by how much a friend or neighbor would love a chance to help out. We all want to feel needed, and letting people help you is a gift to those you let in.

The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale is a widely accepted tool to quantify depressive symptoms. It may be used for diagnosing depression and tracking results of treatment. Postpartum depression is diagnosed anytime within the year following birth.
