Postpartum and Prenatal Counseling Marietta

"Perinatal Mood Disorders" refers to a cluster of issues that occur around the time of childbirth. These mood disorders can include anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and even psychosis. All these disorders have two things in common: 1-they occur during your pregnancy or up to one year after and 2-they cause you a lot of pain and anguish.
It’s normal to feel fatigued, stressed, or anxious after having a child. It’s also common to worry about being a good parent or making the right choices for your baby and your family. You may cry for no reason, experience low moods, fatigue, or other symptoms for two or three weeks after childbirth. If your feelings seem "out-sized" or last longer than a few weeks, you may be experiencing a perinatal mood disorder. Perinatal mood disorders can last a long time. Symptoms generally do not go away on their own and can last for weeks, months, or even years. And they can become severe. But there is hope.

With treatment, full recovery is likely. The length of time it takes to recover can depend on how long PPD went untreated, how serious depression symptoms were, and the type of treatment, among other things. Some depression is treatment resistant, and the best treatment differs for each person.
