The Hidden Truth Behind PostPartum Depression and Baby Blues

Postpartum depression is something we do not talk about enough. It's important to recognize that there are a lot of hormone changes going on in your body after you have a baby. That contributes to part of the issue. You're not getting enough sleep and your circadian rhythms are out of whack. That contributes more to it. But you've also got change in your life. And even though you may love this baby, change causes crisis, and crisis causes change. It's stressful. There are also other issues that are going on with thinking about how you're going to fund this child's life and what you're going to do in the future. There can be challenges in relationships when a new baby enters the picture. So there are a lot of things, both environmental, situational, and physiological, that contribute to postpartum depression in everybody.
