Their hormones and weight are rapidly readjusting. There may be new and stressful changes in relationships with other children, the father of the baby, parents and in-laws, colleagues at work, and friends. Of course, the new baby needs almost constant attention and feeding every two hours, resulting in sleep deprivation. All of these factors can contribute to post-partum mood swings. If the moodiness only lasts 2 -3 weeks and then goes away, it's commonly called the "baby blues". This natural reaction to stress is experienced by more than half of new mothers.

Postpartum Depression In this discussion of postpartum depression you will learn about the sad or anxious feelings you may have after having your baby. You will also learn how long these feelings will last and the treatment for postpartum depression. What is postpartum depression? Many women feel sad or "blue" shortly after their babies are born. These "postpartum blues" last about 3 to 7 days, are relatively mild, go away without treatment, and are considered to be a normal part of childbirth. In 10% to 15% of postpartum mothers, feelings of sadness, disinterest, and anxiety continue for 2 or more weeks. These women are suffering from postpartum depression and may need professional help. A few women become extremely depressed and may experience a severe condition called depressive psychosis. These women may need immediate medical care and hospitalization. How does it occur? Postpartum depression probably has several causes. The sudden hormonal changes your body goes through after delivering a baby is one possible cause. Psychological stress is another possible cause. You may have a sense of letdown after the birth of your baby. Or you may have an overwhelming sense of responsibility for your baby's care. A severe depression is more likely to occur if you have a strained relationship with your partner or no support from your family. Financial problems or other worries can also contribute to depression.

Her son was born by cesarean section after a twenty-eight hour labor. Sue remembers having a slight case of "baby blues" a day or two postpartum. "I can vividly recall staring at the tray of food that was brought to me in the hospital the day after my son was born. I remember staring at the tray and crying . . . just crying and crying. It seemed positively overwhelming to have to eat what was on the tray. Later that day I was told that I needed to walk in order to recover. That too seemed overwhelming, and tears just poured down my face as I pushed the baby up and down the hall. I couldn't cope with even the smallest degree of frustration. By the next day, it was over. I felt fine." Julie, a Leader in the Eastern US Division, remembers a time three months after the birth of her second child: "I had been raised not to complain, so I didn't, but I was very depressed. My pregnancy had been very difficult and I was on bed rest for much of it. My baby was healthy and I couldn't understand what was wrong with me. I remember telling my best friend, 'I could drive away today and leave my husband and the boys, and not care, and not look back.'

Postpartum Depression: Research, Causes, Symptoms and Treatments Postpartum depression and the more severe postpartum psychosis are of major concern today, especially to new mothers or soon-to-be moms. Postpartum depression is also known as postnatal depression , or simply as the acronym PPD What are the "Baby Blues"? Feeding, diapering and taking care of a new baby can be overwhelming. Forty to 85 percent of women experience intense highs and lows as they adjust to life with a new baby. Feeling anxious and crying for reasons she can't explain are actually normal behaviors for the mother of a new baby. With feedings every few hours, the mother of a new baby is likely to feel tired and have trouble falling asleep again when deep sleep has been interrupted. She may have trouble concentrating and probably feels irritable. Sudden weight gain and weight loss are both normal, as are fluctuations in appetite. These are symptoms of the "baby blues." According to most research, these symptoms may last several weeks, often peaking during the first week following delivery. They usually go away by themselves. If feelings of sadness persist more than a few weeks, a woman may be suffering from postpartum depression. How can you tell the difference?

Full text available as: PDF - Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader or other PDF viewer. Abstract Evolutionary approaches to parental care suggest that parents will not automatically invest in all offspring, and should reduce or eliminate investment in their children if the costs outweigh the benefits. Lack of paternal or social support will increase the costs born by mothers, whereas infant health problems will reduce the evolutionary benefits to be gained. Numerous studies support the correlation between postpartum depression (PPD) and lack of social support or indicators of possible infant health and development problems. PPD may be an adaptation that informs mothers that they are suffering or have suffered a fitness cost, that motivates them to reduce or eliminate investment in offspring under certain circumstances, and that may help them negotiate greater levels of investment from others. PPD also appears to be a good model for depression in general. Keywords: postpartum depression, parental investment, life history theory, reproduction, mental health, evolutionary psychology
