What
causes perintal depression
and who is at risk?
Perinatal
depression is more than the baby blues. It is a
term used for depression during or after pregnancy. Having a baby
can be one of the biggest and happiest events in a woman's life.
While life with a new baby can be thrilling and rewarding, it can
also be a difficult and stressful time.
Everyone has feelings of depression from time to time. When they occur during or after pregnancy and last for several days or weeks, this could be a sign of a more serious problem. The good news is... it is treatable and help is available.
If you, or someone you know, is experiencing perinatal depression or if you would like more information, contact the Healthy Families Line at 1-800-369-2229.
