Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that can affect women after giving birth. It can be moderate to intense, and is the result of a combination of physical and emotional factors.
Mothers with postpartum depression often have feelings of extreme sadness, anxiety, and tiredness. This emotional and physical state makes it difficult to carry out the daily tasks of caring for the newborn and for themselves.
What Causes Postpartum Depression?
When women give birth , estrogen and progesterone levels drop rapidly. These sudden changes in hormone levels can cause changes in mood. Also, many women cannot get enough rest to fully recover from childbirth.
The constant lack of sleep and rest can cause physical discomfort and exhaustion. Both of these factors can contribute to the development of postpartum depression.
