Depression Treatment Care

Question by nickyninedoors: How long does it take for symptoms of postpartum depression to present themselves after birth?
I had a very crazy blue period where I wept constantly in the 7th month of my pregnancy. Now I’ve had the baby and have been at home for nine days – I’ve had sporadic moments of anxiety but nothing that resembles the depression I went through in my pregnancy…just wondered if I am in the clear or if post-partum may still present itself…? Any thoughts from others who have gone through it?

those hormones are intense and so until they are out of your body you can g et ppd. even a couple months later but by you being aware of it you are already headed in the right direction. I too had the anxiety right after my son was born but oddly just at night. I think the waking up every hr thing just threw me. I am 9 mos pp and I didnt have it but I admit that the hormones definately got me and I still blame them for mood swings here and tehre i want to get pg again so we keep saying everything will go back into place once I am again ha!
be well and you are most likely in the clear

I have taken tylonal and other to over dose and nothing works what else is out there. I am 18 suffering from manic depression

I take 120mg cymbalta for my bipolar manic depression but it only helps the depression but not my mood swings so i was wondering is it ok to use a mood stabilzer with cymbalta?

I am in a depressed state, not sure if it’s due to being bipolar or if it’s major depression.

I hate showering even though I do it. I have to force myself. I hate the way it feels when water touches my body.

I have to force my head in the water so I can wash my face and hair. The water feels like a potion of acid on my skin.
I’ve never felt like that before as I’ve always enjoyed taking showers.
