New and
expectant mothers and fathers feel an array of
emotions. Sometimes, however, these feelings can
seem overwhelming and individuals may experience the
following: reactions to their new role as parents.
| |

-
Is it hard to
smile/laugh?
-
Are you unable to enjoy
things you normally do
enjoy?
-
Do you blame yourself
for everything that goes
wrong?
-
Do you worry or feel
anxious for no apparent
reason?
-
Do you feel scared and
panicky for no apparent
reason
-
Are you so unhappy
that you have had
difficulty sleeping.
-
Do you start to cry for
no apparent reason.
-
Have you had thoughts of harming
yourself or your baby?

If you are experiencing some or even all of the
above concerns then you may be suffering from
prenatal or postpartum depression, a common form of
depression in new mothers and even fathers.
With treatment you will soon be back to your normal,
easy-going self and enjoying the rewards of
parenthood.
