Depression Management in Pregnancy

In the management of depression during pregnancy, psychotherapy alone may be appropriate for some women. However, other women may prefer pharmacotherapy or require pharmacological treatment, according to a report published in the September issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology

...it’s very important for women to receive treatment if they are depressed in pregnancy. We know that depression itself crosses the placenta. Depression can hurt the growing baby. It doesn’t only hurt the mom herself who might be trying to self-treat; she might be smoking or she might be drinking; she might be taking over-the-counters; she might be not eating well; she might not be going to her pre-natal visits. So that can certainly hurt her, but it can also be hurting the growing baby.
Postpartum Depression for Dads

For new dads, is there a male equivalent of PPD (aka postpartum depression)? There isn’t much research into the subject, but in talking to other counselors and therapists, I would estimate that rates of paternal depression range up to about 25 percent when there isn’t concurrent PPD in the female partner and as high as 50 percent among men whose partners are also experiencing postpartum depression.
Depression During Pregnancy

Advice for moms suffering from depression during and after pregnancy. "It’s crucial for the mother’s health – and therefore her growing baby’s health – that she does whatever is necessary to treat her depression." Click the title to go to a video link and read the rest of Dr. Shosh's response.
Why people feel sadness after a baby

You've just had a baby, but instead of feeling the happiness and joy you anticipated, you are feeling sad and hopeless; you are not alone. According to Dr. Marco Martinez, an obstetrician/gynecologist with the Elmhurst Clinic and on staff at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, up to 80 percent of mothers have these types of feelings after delivery.

Depression During Pregnancy and Postpartum with Special Guest: Shoshana Bennett, Ph.D

It’s no secret that hormones run rampant during pregnancy and afterwards. Women may be surprised that unlike many of their counterparts, pregnancy is not a time of joy and elation – but one of sadness, anxiety, and sometimes worse. Battling depression during pregnancy can negatively impact the growth of your baby and finding the right (and safest!) treatment is very important for mom and baby. After delivery, women suffering from postpartum depression (PPD) need additional support and treatment. One in seven new moms will experience something more severe than the normal “baby blues”. Tune into our show on Thursday, November 5th to listen to ”Dr. Shosh.” She’s the author of Postpartum Depression For Dummies and co-author of Beyond the Blues: Understanding and Treating Prenatal and Postpartum Depression. Her latest book Pregnant on Prozac was released in January 2009. Bring your questions and learn how you can recover – becoming the best mom and person you can be!
