As with any form of depression we can understand its cause and its manifestation at many levels. In the case of postpartum depression there is a combination of a chemical malfunction in the brain probably caused by hormonal imbalance and the overwhelming experience of bonding with and being responsible for a new and helpless human being. I know from working with patients suffering from this horrible condition that the level of despair is immense. I can only say that this is a condition that responds well to treatment. Seeing patients respond to this treatment and becoming loving functional parents is one of the most rewarding experiences a psychologist can have.
I believe every woman will experience low moods after having a baby, resting for 40 days post baby can have life long benefits for both mother and baby. Making a structured plan to care for yourself in turn cares for your baby, providing strong bonds and less anxiety.
Becoming a mother is a huge event in a woman's life, accompanied by profound changes - physical, emotional, social. Becoming depressed a after giving birth makes coping with and adapting to these changes very challenging. Many new mothers struggle in silence.
I offer a confidential space where we can talk about your experience of becoming a mother, its meaning and the impact that it has on your life - internal and external.
