Post Natal Depression Dublin
Usually a gradual slide into depression following the birth, affecting about 10-20 per cent of mothers. It may start off as the ‘baby blues,’ or it may begin to appear slightly later on. The mother may be experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and feel unable to “cope.” Depending on the severity of the symptoms a number of treatments are available. It is advisable for any woman experiencing prolonged low mood after birth, to seek professional help.
Some of the symptoms you may be experiencing are:
- Negative thoughts and feelings.

- Extremely worried about your baby’s health.
- Fearful that you might harm your baby.

- Exhausted, and lacking in motivation
- Guilty, perhaps about not coping, or not loving your baby enough
