Symptoms Of Postpartum Depression
Changes in appetite and sleep, depression and anxiety, negative feelings toward the baby or feeling rejected by the baby, difficulty taking care of the baby, isolating behavior, fatigue and thoughts of death or suicide are the most common symptoms of postpartum depression.
Dr. Jila Senemar, Obstetrician and Gynecologist with Baptist Health South Florida, says postpartum depression is very common, because it is a huge change for a woman, especially if the baby is her first child and, in many cases, she doesn’t know what to do.
