Depression during pregnancy: Symptoms and treatment

Pregnant women who are experiencing depression may think their symptoms are just a normal part of pregnancy.

 


Pregnant women who are experiencing depression may think their symptoms are just a normal part of pregnancy.

But in fact, the following signs may indicate depression: two or more weeks of depressed mood, decreased interest or pleasure in activities, change in appetite, change in sleep patterns, fatigue or loss of energy, difficulty concentrating, excessive feelings of worthlessness or guilt, thoughts of suicide, extreme restlessness and irritability.

Severe depression during pregnancy can interfere with women’s ability to eat properly, get enough rest, or receive prenatal care — all of which may contribute to premature and low birth-weight infants.
 

Even mild depression during pregnancy can put a woman at risk of more severe post-partum depression, which can interfere with her ability to care for her newborn and herself.

Pregnant women who are experiencing possible signs of depression, or who have a history of depression, should talk to their doctors or midwives immediately.

Medications, talk therapy, stress reduction, exercise and other steps can help ease depression safely during pregnancy and beyond.
