Postpartum Depression
Women are especially vulnerable to depression in the period immediately following childbirth. By some estimates, up to 80% of women experience a phenomenon called “postpartum blues,” characterized by extreme sensitivity, moodiness and sleep problems. In most cases, this problem resolves itself within one to two weeks of giving birth without requiring treatment.
Our Depression Toolkit provides information on the diagnosis and treatment of postpartum depression.
