What Is Perinatal and Postpartum Depression?

Perinatal depression refers to depression that can occur during pregnancy or after childbirth. 

Postpartum depression is one form of this and happens after delivery. 

This goes beyond typical stress or the “baby blues.” Symptoms tend to last longer, feel more intense, and can affect your ability to function, rest, or feel connected to your baby and daily life.

Common Signs of Perinatal and Postpartum Depression

Everyone’s experience is different, but common signs may include:

  • Ongoing sadness or low mood
  • Anxiety, worry, or racing thoughts
  • Irritability or feeling emotionally overwhelmed
  • Changes in sleep or appetite
  • Low energy or difficulty concentrating
  • Difficulty bonding with your baby
  • Feeling disconnected from yourself or your surroundings
  • Thoughts that feel intrusive or distressing

If these feelings aren’t letting up, or they’re starting to affect your day-to-day life, it might be time to reach out.
