Postnatal Depression (PND) commonly known as "baby blues" apparently can affect not only new mothers however their partners as well. I'll be talking about almost 16% of male population (USA statistics).
If women have this Depression in the first few weeks after giving early, men generally are very happy at present until all the commitments, tiredness, fears and worries catch up with them and they end up being depressed in 3 to a few months after their child arrives.
This kind if Depression in men is likely to happen if their partner 's also depressed. That's why doctors have to pay attention to the whole family for when treating PND in woman patients.
To get Depression Help is a bit more problematic for new daddies. First, they might not realise they have got PND, as it's an illness frequently related to women. Secondly, they don't try to contact other new parents and still provide their experiences.
The signs and symptoms of Postnatal Depression are usually quite like the ones of normal Depression. You can also find:
- Low mood, tearfulness are worse in the morning
- You're not enjoying new baby as expected
- Occur very irritable with the kid and your partner
- You're feeling insomnia despite lack of sleep and tiredness
Scientists don't know what can cause Postnatal Depression but suspect they have something related to hormonal changes after labor, when levels of estrogens and grab progesterone rapidly drop in women and levels of hormones plummet in men (which is definitely what happen in ordinary Depression) coming from stress of doing something you've never done before and complicated sense of responsibility.
You are more likely to get PND if there will be history of Depression in yourself or your family members, had stressful life right before baby, or the four legged friend was unplanned, or pressed serious problems.
Remember PND can be treated in much the same way as an popular Depression; the doctor you may still get you antidepressants that're safe for breastfeeding mothers and fathers.
