Depression Treatment Care

Question by Yellowbug: How do I find a therapist who handles postpartum depression?
I posted this in the mental health category but didn’t get any answers. I am still struggling 5 months postpartum due to a high-needs baby. I feel like I need someone to talk to besides my husband (who is just as wiped out as me). I don’t know if I have ppd but am unhappy and discouraged. My insurance just provides a list of professionals but how do I find one that handles ppd? Btw, I live in southern california.

Try asking your son/daughter’s pediatrician or the doctor who delivered you. They will more than likely have a list and you can call the doctors on that list and see if they take your insurance.

I have been diagnosed with depression. I have been on medicine for months now and do not feel to much better then before. I have been reading up on depression and feel I may have manic depression. I am just so scared to tell my doctor or my husband. I do not want to be judged or thought of badly. But I do want the correct help. Please if anyone has any helping advise they could tell me let me know.

You need to tell your Doctor, they are the ones that can get you on the right medicine.
You have a chemical imbalance that can be corrected with the right medication. Once you feel better, you will not worry about being judged.

Question by sexyboy: Depression and anxiety sufferers : How difficult do you find it to meet new people and date ?
I’ve been suffering from anxiety disorder and depression 2 years now and in those 2 years my social skills have dropped tragically and i have zero confidence when it comes to asking a lady out on a date or anything like that.
Im seeing a therapist a couple of times a week and im improving little by little but still a long way to go

was just wondering if anyone else here who suffers from depression or anxiety disorder could tell me do they have the same problems ?

Suffer depression and anorexia. Have trust issues and probably anxiety. I only have one friend and I couldn’t imagine dating anyone. That would be way too hard for me.

I am doing a research presentation on postpartum depression. I am looking for video clips that I can download of Andrea Yates, as well as other cases that have had mass media attention, or maybe just informational videos about ppd. Can anyone give me a site?
