Depression, or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), is more common than many realize, and it’s a serious issue. It affects you profoundly, influencing how you feel, altering your thought patterns, and disrupting your daily routines, including sleeping, eating, and working.
This isn’t just a case of the occasional blues or a few down days; it’s about being overwhelmed by symptoms that persist almost all day, every day, for at least a couple of weeks.
Depression can present in various ways, and you might find yourself wrestling with a relentless sense of despair, losing interest in activities you once enjoyed, or noticing shifts in your appetite and sleep patterns. You may feel a deep sense of fatigue, overwhelmed by feelings of guilt or worthlessness, and encounter difficulties in focusing.
It’s not uncommon to experience restlessness or to find your movements have slowed, to suffer from unexplained physical pains, or to have thoughts of death or suicide. Remember, experiencing these symptoms is a sign that it’s time to seek support. Reaching out for help can open the door to recovery and rediscovering joy in life.
Postpartum depression (PPD) is a complex and multifaceted mood disorder that affects many new mothers. Unlike the “baby blues,” which are short-lived and relatively mild, PPD is more intense and persistent. Symptoms can include overwhelming sadness, anxiety, irritability, and fatigue.
Mothers may also experience difficulty bonding with their baby, changes in sleep and appetite, and feelings of hopelessness or guilt. PPD not only affects the mother’s well-being but can also impact the baby’s development and the entire family dynamic. Recognizing the signs of postpartum depression and seeking help is crucial for recovery.
If this sounds all too familiar, know that you’re not alone, and more importantly, there’s a way through. Together, we can navigate the murky waters of depression, finding strategies and support to help you reclaim your routine and rediscover joy in the everyday. Many folks see a significant shift within 10 to 20 sessions.
