After childbirth, it is common for many women to experience mood swings or mild depression, often called the "baby blues." However, if your "baby blues" last longer than two weeks, or are more severe than simple mood swings or mild depression, you may have postpartum depression. After giving birth, about 10 to 15 out of 100 women experience postpartum depression. Women with this condition commonly experience symptoms such as an inability to care for themselves or their baby, anxiety attacks, or strong feelings of depression. Possible treatment options may include medications and psychotherapy.
