3: Postpartum Depression - What You Need to Know

Postpartum or Postnatal Depression is one of the most widely reported cases of depression in India. It is the depression that occurs after childbirth. Although 10 million cases are reported in India every year, most of the women and sometimes even men going through this phase do not seek help. Unlike the baby blues, postpartum depression rarely disappears on its own. The condition can occur days or even months following the birth of your child and last for many weeks or months without treatment. In this podcast I discuss about the causes of postpartum depression, identifying the symptoms and what to do if you or your close ones are suffering from it.
