The Real Face of Postpartum Depression

There are many misconceptions that exist when talking about depression. Many think that only “crazy” people have depression problems, or maybe only people that have struggled with some sort of mental illness before. However, as I found out postpartum depression can happen to anyone, it is no respecter of persons. My journey with postpartum depression started with the birth of my first child. When we brought him home from the hospital I panicked. I did not know what to do with this baby I didn’t feel the way I thought I should about him. Yes, I loved him but where

Can You Be a Good Parent If You Suffer from Depression?

Depression is not a mood. Yes, you can get sad and lonely occasionally and refer to this as being depressed. But an ongoing state of being depressed is considered depression. Who does depression strike? Depression can strike anyone at anytime and it can strike for many different reasons. Recent studies have shown that about 16% of Americans suffer from depression. These people suffer enough that they have to seek some type of treatment whether it is therapy or therapy along with drug therapy. Most commonly people among the ages of 30 to 44 years are the greatest majority of depression

Signs that Your Child May Be Suffering from Depression

There are many children who suffer from depression. According to Rama Rao, MD, “It is estimated that five percent of all children suffer from serious depression that requires some form of treatment and intervention by physicians and other health care workers.” Many parents don’t even realize their child is suffering from depression. When they see their child sad they often assume it is problems with other friends that will eventually pass. Treatment is rarely sought out and depression is rarely recognized till later stages in adulthood. Parents can help by being aware of the signs of depression and seeking professional help

Living With Depression: My Personal Journey

Depression: More Than a State of Mind Most of us think of depression as feeling a little blue. We routinely use it to describe being disappointed when things don’t turn out the way we had hoped. Depression is more than a state of mind and can be debilitating. Those suffering from depression should seek help. Depending on the severity, some may not be able to seek treatment on their own. That’s when a family member or close friend should intervene on their behalf. It’s better to risk offending someone, then to do nothing at all. Doing the right thing doesn’t

Seven Tips for Coping with Summer Depression

I’ve heard it said that July is “the happiest month.” Long lazy days, vacation time, and warm sunny weather lead many to regard summer as the feel-good time of the year. But for a surprising number of people, summer is a time for mild to severe depression. Just as winter can cause seasonal affective disorder in many people, summertime can trigger a lesser known form of reverse seasonal affective disorder, called summer depression. While I’ve never been diagnosed with depression, I have noticed that both the longest and the shortest days of the year are not my optimal time. During

Postpartum Depression: Misunderstood and Misdiagnosed

Some say that parenthood can be one of the greatest joy and accomplishments in a persons’ life. I cannot say that I do not agree, but then again parenthood can also be a nightmare for the unprepared. Postpartum depression can affect many mothers. This depression can occur from the moment of birth, and up to the first year of post pregnancy. It is a horrible disease; mainly, because it is so misunderstood and misdiagnosed.

There are many risks associated with untreated depression during pregnancy. They include preterm labor, growth retardation, decreased prenatal care, poor weight gain, and increased substance use. Depression during pregnancy is very common, but also under diagnosed because women feel they should be joyous since they are having a baby.

Depression as an Inspiration for Writing

Beads of perspiration and chills congregate on my body’s surface as I listen to the sound of the less than modern faucet lay its droplets on the less than ample sink mat.

Come to think of it, was Dickinson even considered a scholar or just a woman who became so stuck in her own head she only replicated the emotions of

Use Your Depression to Create Impression

Constructive Stress Relief Solutions I dropped my tote, took off my shoes and sat on the love seat aghast, still thinking of the most humiliating hours of my life at work today. I was not only in shock and pain, but felt for the moment as if I am in the very edge where the world ends. What traumatized me was not just the incident, but thousands of other irrelevant factors; and people’s pointless curiosity that would from now onwards follow me like a ghost. I was possessed by a futile anxiety; which although I longed to escape from, clung

Dealing With Depression When I Was a Teenager

My Experience with Social Anxiety Everyone feels socially awkward when they are a teenager. No one can easily fit in. But when a person has a form of depression called Social Anxiety, the pressures of high school can become harder to bear. It wasn’t until shortly before I graduated that I was officially diagnosed with this disorder, and even with therapy and medication, it plagues me still today to a certain extent. In high school, however, it was much more difficult to cope. I recall walking quietly from class to class, making eye contact with as few people as possible,

Is Postpartum Depression in Question?

Isn’t Love Better Than Death? A Texas mother named Andrea Yates was freed from prison for the violent murder of her five small children including an infant by reason of insanity. She suffered from severe postpartum psychosis. This form of psychosis can affect mothers after childbirth especially if they already are predisposed to mental illness or depression. During this time a mother can loose her ability to make rational reality based decisions. This is what happened to Andrea Yates and so many other mothers. How can one be accused of a crime when their sanity is in question? Poor mother.

Depression and Happiness Go Together in One Lifetime

You can hear what everyone has been through in their voices. In a telephone call on the radio talk show Coast to Coast someone called in to say that she had been on anti-depressants for 20 years. What was so fascinating about this is that she sounded depressed. After 20 years of being treated for depression, this patient sounded depressed. That is highly unfortunate. Her ordeal began when her husband who had been bed-ridden for 10 years killed himself. The caller had been his caretaker all that time. After her husband’s death she was unhappy, of course and sought treatment.
