Among the most frequent symptoms that you can experience as a woman with postpartum depression are the desire to cry all day, having problems concentrating, no longer finding much pleasure in activities that you used to enjoy, sleeping but not resting, etc.<\/p>\n

If these symptoms only last a couple of weeks after giving birth, they can be considered baby blues, but if they last longer or those feelings are stronger, you should be very careful and see your doctor quickly.<\/p>\n

The importance of addressing these emotions as soon as possible is because it can become a dangerous situation for both you and your baby, says Dr. Manero. Sometimes, as a mother with postpartum depression, you can think of hurting yourself or your baby, and you can also think about death and abandonment. You must remember that all these thoughts are being caused by the changes you are experiencing in your body and it is of great importance to approach a professional who will help you treat them.<\/p>\n
