ESSAY ON: Postpartum Depression

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page research paper that discusses this topic. While couples spend months preparing for childbirth, they often do not have any preparation for what to expect emotionally after the birth of their child. Frequently women overwhelmed; thrilled to have a healthy baby, but in tears the next (ICEA position, 2003). Often, women are not aware that such a reaction is perfectly normal and they fear that they are either going crazy or will be a terrible mother. Today, it is recognized that this period, which is generally referred to as postpartum depression, actually encompasses different categories of reaction to the birth experience. The writer discusses mild PPD (the "baby blues"), PPD and postpartum psychosis. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
