Postpartum depression can make you feel restless, anxious, fatigued and worthless. Some new moms worry they will hurt themselves or their babies. Unlike the “baby blues,” postpartum depression does not go away quickly. Very rarely, new moms develop something even more serious. They may stop eating, have trouble sleeping and become frantic or paranoid. Women with this condition usually need to be hospitalized.
Is it possible to still have symptoms of post-partum depression even if you did not carry the pregnancy to full-term??
in february I had a miscarriage at only 7 weeks. I felt okay for the most part emotionally but over the last month or two, i’ve felt pretty down, I know I work a lot and often let stress get to me but lately I’ve felt like i do not enjoy anything the way I used to and cannot find a reason for hope and cannot sustain a good mood for a long period of time. I’ve also found myself being a hypochondriac! I also frequently think about conceiving another baby..
Is this form of depression possible even if you didnt actually give birth?
Teen depression (or adolescent depression) is a surprisingly common mental health disorder. Although it mirrors the symptoms of major depressive episodes, teen depression is often less visible and may go unnoticed by parents and peers. However, it can have serious consequences, leading to negative outcomes like teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, school dropout and even suicide.
Everyone feels “blue” at times. Life is full of highs and lows. But people with depression feel sad all of the time. Depression is a real medical illness. Left untreated, it can lead to other mental illnesses or even suicide. Real clinical depression is not something you can just shake off. You can’t talk yourself into feeling better. It can interfere with your daily activities and can hurt the ones close to you. The first step in getting better is to recognize the symptoms and admit that you might have depression. Some people may have only a few of the following symptoms while some may have many.
Persistent sad mood or feeling empty.
Feelings of hopelessness.
Feelings of guilt or worthlessness.
Loss of interest in favorite hobbies or things you once enjoyed
Loss of interest in sex.
Decreased energy.
Sleep disturbances, either sleeping too much or too little.
Inability to concentrate.
Overeating or not being able to eat.
Restlessness or irritability.
Thoughts of suicide.

I’ve been having problems in my relationship with my boyfriend as well as other family issues along with child custody issues with my daughter and financial issues. I’m also 6 months pregnant and all of this is starting to weigh in heavily on my mental health I think. I’ve been crying myself to sleep every night, I’m more moody than usual, and just not happy about much at all. I have an appointment to see my doctor, I know that a lot of the symptoms I’m having are normal with pregnancy but this is starting to affect my work and social life and I want to make sure it doesn’t spiral out of control. Has anyone gone through something similar that can give me some suggestions on how to handle this? And are there any SAFE medications they can even give you while your pregnant??
Do you at times feel emotionally disturbed that you just want to keep to yourself and let no one disturb you with anything? Well, this may be a sign of depression. Depression is a health condition that affects your state of mind and eventually make you feel inadequate, gloomy, sad, withdrawn, moody and at times disinterested in most activities that you like undertaking. This condition may be genetically inherited or just occur in an individual due to the influence of multiple genes reacting with environmental factors. In addition to these factors, an existence of bad relationships, lack of achieving goals in life and many other factors may also contribute to this disorder.
Among people, women are prone to depression compared to men. This is due to the fact that there are a lot of hormonal and psychological factors that are unique only to women and not to men hence women having a higher depression rate. When these factors occur,they sometimes affect a part of the brain that usually controls a person’s emotions and moods. For example, during pregnancy, women undergo a lot of hormonal changes and at times this make them to be more aggressive and appear harsh most of the times. The same thing cannot be said about men. The rare occasions of depression cases in men usually occur due to external factors such as office work, financial constraints or a business deal gone bad. For this reason, depression episodes in men seem to exist for a shorter period as compared to women.

I’m almost 11 weeks pregnant…I have no one to help me through my problems right now…I think I might need medicine to help treat this problem because I have cried everyday for the past 1 1/2 months. Can someone please tell me what to do…I can go see the ob doctor yet because Im still waiting to be approved for medicaid and my first apt isn’t until the end of the month…I think i might need some medication to help treat this do i go to a regular doctor for this?
I believe the depression is coming about because everyone is wanting me to get an abortion but I’m wanting to keep the baby and I really have no support. I’m 24 about to graduate from college but I might be doing it alone.
