Postpartum depression (PPD), also called postnatal depression, is a form of clinical depression which can affect women after childbirth. Studies report prevalence rates among women from 5% to 25%. Postpartum depression occurs in women after they have carried a child, usually in the first few months. It is very serious and should not be ignored or brushed off. “Symptoms include sadness, fatigue, insomnia, appetite changes, reduced libido, crying episodes, anxiety, and irritability. The condition is surprisingly common. Current data suggests that 5 to 9 percent of women will develop postpartum depression, but less than one in five of these women will seek professional help” (Jacobs, 68). Many people think that postpartum is caused by a lack of vitamins., but studies tend to show that it is caused because during a pregnancy there are many changes in the women’s hormones. Many women recover because of a support group or counseling. Verbage to describe Postpartum Depression is used from "Wikipedia".
