It may occur soon after delivery or up to a year later. Most of the time, it occurs within the first 3 months after delivery. Causes Women commonly have mood changes during pregnancy, especially after delivery. These mood changes may be caused by changes in hormone levels. Many non-hormonal factors may also affect mood during this period: Changes in your body from pregnancy and delivery Changes in work and social relationships Having less time and freedom for yourself Lack of sleep Worries about your ability as a mother Feelings of anxiety, irritation, tearfulness, and restlessness are common in the week or two after pregnancy. These feelings are often called the postpartum or "baby blues." These symptoms almost always go away soon, without the need for treatment.

In 460 BC, Hippocrates described "puerperal fever," which he theorized was caused by suppressed lochial discharge (the blood, tissue and mucus discharged from the vagina following birth) which was transported to the brain, where it produced "agitation, delirium and attacks of mania." In the 11th century, the gynecologist Trotula of Salerno speculated: "if the womb is too moist, the brain is filled with water, and the moisture running over to the eyes, compels them to involuntarily shed tears." In the 18th century, puerperal psychosis and depression were specifically defined by Marce in his work Treatise on Insanity in Pregnant and Lactating Women , but attempts to understand postpartum mental illness finally became more systematic in the mid-19th century when Esquirol wrote of the "mental alienation of those recently confined and of nursing women."

POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION The "baby blues" have always been viewed as a normal part of the postpartum period. Usually starting between the third and fifth day after delivery, feelings of mild depression, crying spells, anxiety, irritability, and mood swings occur in as many as 85% of women. Because this expected phase of mothering is so common, and usually resolves after a few days without any intervention, health care professionals often ignored these symptoms, and left the new mothers and families to deal with it on their own. In the past few years, mothers and doctors have become more aware of the high incidence of postpartum blues. They are realizing that often the "blues" are much more than a temporary normal phase that "every mother goes through." Some mothers will continue into a more severe depression that, if ignored and untreated, can have severe consequences for the new mother and baby. Postpartum Depression occurs in 10 to 15 percent of deliveries. It is much more than the standard "baby blues" discussed above. Most cases begin within the first few weeks after delivery, but onset can be delayed for several months. Symptoms include: Depressed mood Agitation Fatigue Lack of interest in pleasurable activities Poor concentration and decision making Poor appetite Insomnia Feelings of failure as a mother Guilt Unusual worry over infant's health Suicidal thoughts How can you distinguish the difference between routine baby blues and postpartum depression? To diagnose postpartum depression, the following criteria must be met:

Search AAMFT Consumer Update Postpartum Depression Somehow women have learned to expect that the birth of a baby automatically produces exhilaration and joy. They are led to believe that the period following childbirth should be the happiest time in their lives. In truth, it is one of the most stressful and anxiety producing periods in the life cycle of a family. More than half of the women who give birth each year experience some negative change in their mental health. For 10 to 15% of those women, the period following childbirth becomes a nightmare as they experience sleeplessness, confusion, memory loss, and anxiety during the already stressful adjustment to motherhood. New mothers are especially vulnerable to depression anytime within the first year after delivery. Along with the overwhelming demands of caring for an infant comes a loss of time with one's spouse, the loss of adult friendships, and a loss of freedom and familiar routine. This is also a challenging time for the entire family, as they attempt to adapt to a new way of life, while knowing that their lives will never again

It's estimated that up to 70% of all new mothers experience the "baby blues." These "blues" typically peak four to five days after delivery and fade away within a week or two. However, sometimes these "blues" don't go away. Instead the new mother becomes increasingly distraught. She may become weepy, lethargic, agitated, or even have thoughts of suicide. She may start to worry excessively about her new baby or have unwanted thoughts of harming the child. These are all symptoms of PPD.
