For some moms, these symptoms are not a temporary phase and turn into a serious depressive episode – called postpartum depression. Like other mental health conditions, it’s never the fault of the new mom, or a sign of weakness. It’s a vulnerability after giving birth that must be acknowledged and treated quickly, at an early point of intervention before symptoms become overwhelming and treatment more complicated.
PPD symptoms are varied, and a more intense version of the symptoms of the baby blues, including physical and emotional symptoms like these: constant crying, severely depressed mood, loss of interest in daily activities and/or caring for your baby, overwhelming fatigue, feelings of shame and worthlessness, trouble eating or sleeping, and at the extreme – thoughts of harming yourself or your baby. Untreated, these symptoms can last for months, and increase in intensity.
I'm pretty sure Sage Therapeutics, the manufacturer, paid very well for this fluff piece.
