Postpartum Depression

Postpartum Depression

The birth of a baby can trigger many powerful emotions,from extreme happiness to fear and anxiety. But it can also trigger something you might not expect – depression. Most new mothers experience “Postpartum Blues” which commonly includes mood swings, crying spells, anxiety and difficulty in sleeping.

The blues begin after delivery and can last up to two weeks. But some new mothers experience a more severe and long-lasting form of depression called postpartum depression.

This depression is neither a flaw nor a weakness, but it must be addressed when it occurs. With proper treatment and counselling you can manage the symptoms and help you bond with your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What causes postpartum depression?
There are biological, physical, chemical and social changes in a woman during pregnancy and after the birth of the child, all of these add up to cause postpartum depression.
2. How bad is postpartum depression?
Postpartum depression has stages of mild, moderate and severe just like any other type or depression. It is treatable through therapy and medication.

Yes, with planned counselling sessions and proper medical and psychological help a woman can recover completely from postpartum depression.
5. Can postpartum depression counselling be done online?
Yes, postpartum depression counselling sessions or a postnatal depression counselling course can be done online with a licensed and qualified counsellor.
6. Is online counselling good for postpartum depression?
Yes, online postpartum depression counselling can be effective, just like an in-person counselling, when both the therapist and the patient have a level of understanding, are comfortable with each other and are committed to finding the most effective way to handle the postpartum depression. Since many new moms do not have that much time to step away from their newborns and head out for a session, online postpartum depression counselling from your home is a great option.
7. Can I use WhatsApp for postpartum depression counselling?
Yes, WhatsApp can be used for postpartum depression counselling, provided it suits the requirements of both parties involved. Since the pandemic many WhatsApp helplines have sprung up catering to this. Some therapists, through WhatsApp, offer a postnatal depression counselling course for new mothers.
8. How much does online counselling cost for postpartum depression?
The pricing and cost for postpartum depression counselling or a postnatal depression counselling course will vary depending on where you live, how experienced your therapist is and what kind of treatment you are opting for. The number and frequency of sessions will also factor in the final cost. At Ananda, we offer one free session at the start.
