Postpartum Depression vs Baby Blues
Is the baby moon sliding into the baby blues?
You are not alone. You are not to blame. If you or someone you know might be experiencing symptoms of prenatal or postpartum mood or anxiety disorder, know that it is treatable and you have taken a very important first step. There is someone in your area who can help you if you are experiencing any of the following: depressed, irritable, exhausted, unlike yourself, sadness, anger, guilt, worry, feelings of inadequacy. *This statement was adapted from postpartum.net.
The following is not meant to be a diagnostic tool, but rather a way for new mothers and their support persons to recognize their feelings and to be empowered to take action if they need help.
If you are experiencing an emergency please call 911. Don't wait!
Hawaii Suicide Prevention hotline call 800-753-6879
