For most women, having a baby is a beautiful and joyful time. For some, it can be a very stressful, anxious time. It can also produce something that one might not expect - depression.
Many mamas will experience “baby blues'' following childbirth, which usually lasts up to 6 weeks. They will experience symptoms like mood swings, crying, irritability, etc.
Sometimes, a more severe form occurs called Postpartum depression - symptoms include depressed mood, sleep issues, crying all the time, feeling of worthlessness, intrusive thoughts, plus several other symptoms. This period also increases the risk of suicide or suicide ideation.
As September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, this episode is dedicated to raising awareness in preventing suicide in moms by encouraging moms to take charge of their mental health.
On this episode of the WHoly Mom Chat, I talk with Dr. Jessica Kaffer, a licensed Clinical Psychologist and a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist located in the Phoenix area. Jessica shares her journey of experiencing postpartum depression herself as we take a deep dive into mom rage and not being afraid to ask for help.
Note: If you or someone you know is in an emergency, call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or call 911 immediately.
