Depression during pregnancy


 Many women are tired of being pregnant during the third quarter, and some even before, so there is nothing wrong with feeling this way. All that is exciting and new during the first weeks and months of pregnancy may become tedious in the sixth or seventh month.



And you have to be honest, there's nothing particularly exciting about getting off the bed side, complain every time you get up or go to the bathroom twenty times a day. Of course, once you offer a seat on the bus, but also affront other delicacies such as hemorrhoids and reflux, which is more than enough to take the emotion even more excited mother.


However, if these discomforts pregnancy begin to feel more like persistent depression or anxiety that affect your ability to function, talk to your doctor. Although mood swings are common in pregnancy, especially for women who suffer from PMS, feeling chronically bored can be a symptom of depression.

The PPD has more media attention, but at least ten percent of pregnant women have bouts of depression during pregnancy. The untreated depression is neither good for your health or that of your baby, so it's important to have a treatment. Fortunately, in most cases, depression related to pregnancy can be treated successfully with the help of therapists and antidepressant medication should be necessary.
