A baby is a major life altering event. It is essential to recognize the symptoms of depression or anxiety during the perinatal period and seek treatment as soon as you notice these identifying signs of depression.

Many people experience "babyblues" in the first few weeks following birth. Postnatal depression is more severe and requires medical attention.

1. The bonding process with your baby can be difficult

The majority of new parents experience some level of depression after the birth. If you experience depression on a regular basis for a few days and lasts longer than two weeks, you could be suffering from postnatal Depression (PND). PND is more severe than the 'baby-blues' that many women experience during the first week after the birth of their baby. However, it is treatable and most people recover with the help of family, whanau, friends and professional support services.

If you're depressed, it isn't easy to connect and interact with your baby. Your emotions can affect your interactions. It can make you indifferent to your baby and you might even appear annoyed or frustrated by them when they cry or require comforting. It could also affect the way you look after your child and make it difficult to feed, change or dress them.

People with PND may lose interest in everyday activities, such as eating or sleeping, and their energy levels will drop. They may withdraw from their whanau and develop irrational concerns about their baby's health or feel they're harming their child. Certain people might also experience symptoms of anxiety, like a fear of losing control or panic attacks.

If you're having trouble connecting with your baby, talk to a healthcare professional immediately. They can provide tips on how to handle the situation and can refer you to treatment, such as psychotherapy or medication. They will be able to tell you whether the depression is normal or not, and what you can do to recover. If you're experiencing severe depression, your doctor might be able to refer you to a community perinatal mental health service which specializes in treating newborn mothers.

2. Feeling unworthy and guilt

Post-natal depression is typically characterized by feelings of worthlessness or guilt. People suffering from this disorder tend to blame themselves for the negative things in their lives. This can also be due to past experiences in which a person was abused, neglected or made to feel inadequate. This can cause a lack of self-esteem and low confidence which makes it difficult to manage daily activities.

Postnatal depression can affect anyone, regardless of age or number of children. It can also occur during pregnancy (this is referred to as antenatal depression). If you or someone you know is struggling and depressed, encourage them to visit their GP or health professional and don't be afraid seek assistance. Most people can recover from PND with the right help and treatment. Being in contact with friends and family members can be beneficial, as it can help to keep the person feeling positive and avoid isolation. This can be particularly helpful when the symptoms are more severe or last for a long time.

3. Interest in normal activities

Many women suffering from PND lose enthusiasm for their hobbies and social circle. They might not be able to enjoy spending time with their baby and are unable to make decisions. They are usually very tired but find it difficult to fall asleep as they are unable relax or get into deep, peaceful sleep. They may also lose appetite and eat much less than normal, and sometimes adding weight and feeling embarrassed about it.

Therapies that involve talking, such as cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy can be very efficient, however it is also normal for antidepressants to be prescribed. Some are more suitable for certain individuals than others, so it's a matter of trial and error to discover the best one.

It is essential to have the support of friends and family members as well as health professionals. Some mothers suffering from PND are unable to be with their partners, which can cause stress in relationships. Once the mother's depression has been treated, a large number of these relationships have recovered. Depression can lead to a number of other issues like anger, suicidal ideas and anxiety.

4. Change in appetite

The physical and emotional turmoil of having a baby can be overwhelming. The baby blues is a term used to describe the emotions of sadness and anxiety that many women experience after giving birth. These feelings of anxiety and sadness are normal, but shouldn't last for long. If the feelings persist for more than a week, it could be an indication of a more serious mental health issue like post-natal depression.

Depressive moods can be caused by hormone levels that increase during pregnancy, only to drop dramatically after birth. An increase in appetite is also common in this condition. Lack of sleep or fatigue may make new mothers feel hungry or have a diminished appetite.

An inability to eat can lead to nutritional deficiencies and weight issues, and can impact breastfeeding as it could decrease the quantity of milk produced. If a new mom isn't eating enough, she should speak to her doctor or a midwife (through Plunket) if she feels that they are not eating enough.

The sufferer of PND might not be capable of caring for her child and may withdraw from her whanau and social circle. She may be overly worried about the physical health of her child and worry that something is wrong with them. This could lead to excessive whakama (shame) and a feeling of not being a good parent.

Women suffering from PND can get support from their families and spouses, as well as other people, including counsellors or professional services. These services are essential for the recovery process from PND.

People who have not experienced mental distress before can develop PND or PND, and people who have had depression or other mental illness can experience it after having a baby (as well as during pregnancy). Postnatal depression is not a condition that only poor mothers suffer from. Even women with an established relationship and a lot support can suffer from it. It is thought that anxiety and stress increase the likelihood of developing depression following the birth of the child.
