What is the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression?
If you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing a common case of the baby blues or something more serious, consider these factors:
- Duration of the symptoms — Baby blues start to diminish after the first two weeks postpartum; whereas postpartum depression persists for weeks or months, and can even start months after the baby is born.
- Severity of symptoms — Postpartum depression typically disrupts your ability to function, while the baby blues don’t interrupt daily responsibilities.
What are some common signs of postpartum depression?
These nine symptoms may indicate that it’s time to seek some help:
- Exaggerated mood swings
- Constant fatigue or exhaustion
- Loss of appetite or overeating
- Confusion or difficulty concentrating
- Feeling overwhelmed or helpless
- Low self-esteem and feelings of guilt
- Lack of interest or resentment toward the baby
- Anxiety or panic attacks
- Fear of harming yourself or your baby
