In my case, none. I just had to go to the doc and get an antidepressant for a while.
I had such bad post-partum depression I was unable to care for my son. It was horrible, before that I had no mental health issues. Now the post partum depression has morphed into manic depression, I have been on meds for 8 years. My son was diagnosed with ADD while in kindergarten. I am totally convinced they are connected, but who knows? Things were hell for a couple of years, but calmed down now. Hope this answers your question. You can e-mail me for more details if you wish. msmaryanne3@yahoo.com
I had it. I now know that I am type II bipolar. My daughter has had numerous emotional problems, but has never been diagnosed. I think maybe it is a matter of genetics, not anything I said or did when she was a baby. The important thing is to get some help. Tell your doctor if you haven’t already, and don’t fool around with it.
yes, I had it – twice! you can and do get over it, no problems
