Frequently asked questions
How is postpartum depression different from the baby blues?
The baby blues are mild mood changes that pass within about two weeks of birth. Postpartum depression is more intense and persistent, lasting longer and interfering with daily life and bonding, and it responds well to treatment.
Can I take medication for postpartum depression while breastfeeding?
Often yes. Providers experienced in perinatal care can recommend options that take breastfeeding into account. Discuss the benefits and risks with a provider who knows maternal mental health.
Where can I find perinatal mental health support?
On HometownMind you can find providers experienced in perinatal or maternal mental health, or get matched for free with one suited to your needs.
