Common symptoms for post-partum depression include the following:
- Feeling hopeless, sad, or worthless every day
- Lacking interest and not getting pleasure from day-to-day activities and feeling this way on a regular basis
- Sleeping too little or not enough. You may have a hard time sleeping, even when your baby is sleeping
- Trouble eating and problems with weight gain or loss
- Feeling guilty and experiencing low self-esteem
- Either feeling restless and can’t sit still or else sitting quietly and lacking the energy to move
- Unable to properly focus and make decisions
- Feelings of anxiety or worry
- In serious cases, feelings of suicide and death or fleeting fears that you may harm your baby
If you have been experiencing any of these symptoms for more than 2 weeks, you may be suffering from post-partum depression.
