Post partum depression

[Tiffy]

I have very bad post partum depression. I went and saw a healthnurse today, she is sending me to be evaluated tomorrow by a specialist and see what is right for me - medication, councelling, groups, and so forth. I was wondering how many here suffer or have suffered from it, and how they dealt with it? How long did it last? What helps you feel better?

Thanks!

hi just to say there is a PND support thread on here if you want to chat to others going through the same
as you- i think it is in the health section

sorry i mean in the health and beauty section in off topic!!

The support thread is in the post pregnancy health sub section of health and beauty.

I have PND, it was only diagnosed in the last week and came on very suddenly after I stopped breastfeeding (not through choice). I felt fine for the first 11 weeks so it was the last thing I expected to get.
I have to see the doctor tomorrow as my HV says I would benefit from antidepressants.
There are quite a few of us who post in the support thread.
I hope you're ok
