BOLD Health is here for everyone that has experienced an even just extraordinary moment in their life because this too shall pass...and soon enough people will forget what once was awkward when they're faced by new challenges.

Pregnancy planned and unplanned can bring with it a myriad of emotions. Most people assume joy is the most predominant emotion but very commonly women experience concurrent anxiety and even guilt and sadness. It is easy to see the toll that childbirth can take on women physically, but the unseen emotional toll can be even more intense.

Following childbirth, women experience an extreme drop in hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, and other hormones produced by the thyroid gland can also dip dramatically. This often leaves women feeling tired, sluggish and depressed in the days, weeks and even months following childbirth. Postpartum depression, however, is a severe form of clinical depression.

Symptoms often include insomnia, loss of appetite, extreme irritability and difficulty bonding with the baby.

Postpartum depression is fairly common, with some studies suggesting that one in seven women will experience it to some degree after giving birth. Here at BOLD Health, we possess extensive experience treating patients with postpartum depression. Additionally, many of providers are women with advanced training in Maternal Mental Health. Let us help you or someone you love find their way out of postpartum depression.

Postpartum Depression

Postpartum Depression

Having a baby is an exciting and often emotional time, but just after delivery you may experience the "baby blues." This mild form of depression includes symptoms such as feeling weepy or fatigued.

If these feelings last longer than two weeks then it could be post-partum Depression which affects up to 20% of women who have had their first child!

A small number of women experience postpartum psychosis, which is characterized by severe mood swings and hallucinations.

Known as "Baby Blues"

Having a baby is an exciting and often emotional time, but just after delivery you may experience the “baby blues.” This mild form of depression can make moms feel weepy or fatigued; anxious about their life as well as overwhelmed with things like housework they never thought would be on top during pregnancy list.

The symptoms don't always last two weeks though - 20% percent of postpartum women develop Post Natal Depression (PND) that needs attention since it could lead to more severe disorders such as anxiety disorder if left untreated! So tell your doctor right away if these feelings come up because he/she will know how best to help.
