Persistent sadness, anxiety, fatigue, or difficulty bonding with your baby may indicate postpartum depression. Professional evaluation is key.

Mood swings, tearfulness, guilt, hopelessness, sleep disturbances, and reduced energy or motivation are common indicators.

Treatment options, including therapy and selective medications are carefully chosen to support both mother and baby.

With proper treatment, many mothers see improvement within weeks to months, though duration varies by individual circumstances.

Mild symptoms may improve naturally, but professional support ensures faster recovery, reduces relapse risk, and strengthens long-term mental health.
