BABY BLUES, POSTPARTUM PSYCHOSIS and their difference from postpartum depression (PPD). Pregnancy, childbirth, the first year of a baby’s life is wonderful, but quite a difficult period in a woman’s life. Her body is changing, hormonal changes are taking place and roles are being transformed. It seems that since this is a natural process, natural, then everything should go smoothly. A woman should immediately be able to “give birth and go to the field to work” and shine with happiness. In life, everything is not as it is shown on social networks. Yes, there is a quick and successful transition into a new role. But approximately every 2nd person experiences the baby blues, every 10-20th person experiences PPD, and every 1000th person experiences postpartum psychosis. 🔸BABY BLUES is postpartum chondral. This condition is experienced by about 30-50% of women (PDD 10-20% of women). The symptoms are similar to PPD, but they are not as strong and for a short time: sad after childbirth, tearfulness, melancholy, constant fatigue, feeling of loneliness, emptiness, poor concentration, anxiety, fears, irritation. Symptoms Baby blues occurs due to the restructuring of the body and adaptation to a new role. They appear a few days after birth and disappear within a couple of weeks or days. The condition does not prevent the mother from taking care of herself and the baby. 🔸And the first symptoms of PDD (this is already a diagnosis, a more serious condition) appear a few weeks, or even a year after giving birth. They last for several months or longer. They affect the quality of life of the mother and child care.
