Postpartum depression is common but shouldn't be overlooked. Symptoms can include: persistent sadness or emptiness, inability to feel connection or bonding with baby, extreme tiredness and lack of energy, difficulty falling asleep or sleeping too much, changes in appetite, excessive anxiety or panic attacks, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, thoughts about harming yourself or baby. If you've been experiencing several of these for longer than 2 weeks, seeing a mental health professional or your gynecologist is important. Only a professional can determine if you have postpartum depression — but asking the question "do I have it?" is valid, and seeking help is one of the strongest things you can do for yourself and your baby.
