Understanding Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

The postpartum period is a time of significant change, and hormonal shifts, sleep disruptions, and new responsibilities can take a toll on emotional health. Postpartum depression (PPD) and anxiety (PPA) are common, affecting many new parents. Symptoms may include persistent sadness, anxiety, irritability, guilt, or feelings of being overwhelmed. These conditions can make it difficult to care for yourself and your baby, but with the right support, recovery is possible.

Common Signs of Postpartum Depression and Anxiety

While everyone’s experience is unique, here are some common symptoms of PPD and PPA:

Persistent Sadness or Tearfulness

Feeling down or tearful much of the time

Excessive Worry or Anxiety

Worrying about your baby’s health, safety, or other aspects of parenthood

Irritability or Mood Swings

Feeling unusually irritable or experiencing sudden mood changes

Difficulty Bonding with Your Baby

Struggling to connect emotionally

Feelings of Guilt or Inadequacy

Feeling like you’re not a good enough parent

Trouble Sleeping or Eating

Disrupted sleep and appetite patterns, even when the baby is resting
