Some mood changes after having a baby are to be expected. Vast changes in hormones, low sleep, and a new baby at home typically bring about what’s known as the “baby blues.” This is often characterized by increased anxiety, mood swings, appetite and sleep changes, irritability, crying spells, and brain fog (Mayo Clinic, 2022).
But when these symptoms are severe, and last longer than two weeks, this moves to a more serious condition called Post Partum Depression (PPD). This can last for up to a year after birth.
What Causes PPD?
There are often multiple factors at play, but a few can certainly contribute.
Estrogen and progesterone are produced in high amounts during pregnancy. The levels of these hormones decrease dramatically after childbirth, which can affect mood, energy levels, sleep, and more.
Furthermore, an infant in the home typically means less time for sleep, nutrition, exercise and self-care, correlated with an increased risk for depressive symptoms.
Genetics can also play a role in the risk of developing PPD.
How Can I Support Someone With PPD?
A strong support system is vital. If supporting someone with PPD, here are a few ways to help:
- Validate their experience. Remember that postpartum depression is a real, serious condition that goes beyond baby blues.
- Help out with housework. Reduce their cognitive load by taking over as much of the cleaning and cooking as you can.
- Lend an ear. Sometimes, it helps just to vent about the experience.
- Take care of yourself too. PPD can influence others in the home, including the individual’s partner and children.
What Treatments Are Available?
Postpartum depression is often treated similarly to depression. Talk therapy, psychotherapy, and antidepressants (most of which are safe to take while breastfeeding) are typically most effective.
Screening tools, such as the EPDS, are recommended by Perinatal Services in BC. They suggest routine universal screening for all birthing people during 28 weeks of pregnancy and again at 6 weeks after delivery. Incidence is commonly referred to as 1 in 7 birthing people and 1 in 10 partners. Yes! Men can have PPD too!
