What Is Postpartum Depression?
Postpartum depression is a mental health condition that affects some women after childbirth. It is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest or joy in daily activities. It can make it challenging to care for yourself and your baby, impacting your overall well-being and quality of life.
History Of Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression has been recognized throughout history, although understanding and awareness of the condition have evolved over time. In the past, it was often dismissed as “baby blues” or attributed to hormonal changes alone. Today, we recognize that postpartum depression is a complex interplay of hormonal, psychological, and social factors that require specialized care and support.

Symptoms
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of postpartum depression is crucial for early intervention and effective treatment. Some common signs include:

- Extreme irritability or anger

While postpartum depression can affect any woman after childbirth, certain factors may increase the risk. These include:
- A personal or family history of depression or anxiety
