Signs and Symptoms of Postpartum Depression
Recognizing the signs of postpartum depression is an important first step toward getting help. While it’s common to feel emotionally overwhelmed after childbirth, persistent or severe symptoms may signal a more serious condition. Common signs and symptoms of postpartum depression include:
- Intense sadness or mood swings that last more than two weeks.
- Excessive crying or feeling emotionally numb.
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed.
- Extreme fatigue or insomnia unrelated to newborn care.
- Feelings of worthlessness, shame, or guilt.
- Difficulty bonding with the baby.
- Withdrawing from family and friends.
- Fear of not being a good parent.
- Thoughts of self-harm or harming the baby.
If any of these symptoms resonate, it’s important to speak with one of our healthcare providers. Early intervention can make a significant difference in the recovery process.
