Depression post I set off: symptoms

The arrival of a baby generates a finished change in your life. There are modified your priorities, your schedules, your sleep. Up to your daily bath it stays for the last thing, or sometimes you remember to do it.

It is clear that all this avalanche of new experiences brings with it changes in your frames of mind. But if this change settles and you do not improve, be careful, childbearing can talk each other as a depression post.

In contrast to the depression puerperal, the depression post childbearing is more serious, it does not go away in a few days. He settles. There needs medical, fond attention your health and that of your baby. If you have had depression episodes in some moment of your life, you have a major risk of suffering again this illness.

• Lacking in interest or pleasure in most of the activities, still in those that earlier you were interested in.
• Loss of energy
• Make difficult to sleep or to sleep too much
• Fear of hurting you or of damaging the baby
• Negative thoughts towards the baby

The intensity of the feelings of anxiety and desperation is such, that it is not possible to expire with the daily tasks. The clothes battery to turn is a mountain, the sadness has neither break nor end, you see the life as if you had black glasses.
