Depression After Pregnancy Treatment - Postpartum Depression Treatment

In this video, we introduce Dr. Robert D. McMullen, MD who is a psychiatrist in NYC that has been performing psychopharmacology for over 30 years, the last 10 of which includes transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS). Today, he will discuss postpartum depression treatment.
First off, women should prepare for their pregnancy in two ways. The first way is by taking folic acid to prevent neuro tube defects. The other way is by taking Vitamin D, which is a steroid hormone that is important for overall health. Women should also ask their physicians to perform a folic acid test called the MTHFR test. This test measures folic acid metabolism. 1 in 5 women and men are unable to properly make use of folic acid in their bodies which is something that helps prevent depression as well.
Postpartum depression is more complicated than regular depression because it has different causes and treatments. Moreover, some women may experience postpartum highs, which is more likely to happen in someone who is very bipolar. Even among men, there is a very high incidence of postpartum mania. A study performed on a group of men showed that men got manic depressive because they held hands with their wife throughout the entire labor, resulting in sleep deprivation. A lack of sleep is what causes people to develop mania, especially if they suffer from bipolarism.
Most women develop depression after giving birth largely due to hormonal changes that occur in their bodies during childbirth. Estrogen and progesterone levels in their bodies go up extremely high during pregnancy, sometimes 7 times the normal amount. Afterward, they drop down dramatically to normal levels after they’ve given birth. This sudden change in hormone levels affects mood, including causing depression.
Another reason is due to a lack of social support from husbands who are not around during the childbirth and who do not offer any form of help whatsoever. Women may also develop depression due to financial challenges that they’re facing during the pregnancy. Also, if the mother does not wish to have the child, that may lead to postpartum depression.
Furthermore, according to a doctor women go into depression due to the fact that it’s in their nature. Throughout human history, women have always used depression as a way to get people’s attention so they can engage with her. This is so they can offer her support during pregnancy in the event that she’s not receiving any support from the father of the child.
In conclusion, postpartum depression is a common issue that affects many women and there are a variety of reasons. Those who feel depression symptoms right after pregnancy should not get alarmed as that is a natural occurrence due to the shock the body goes through during childbirth. Contacting a qualified psychiatrist such as Dr. McMullen will help women overcome these depression symptoms and bring back happiness into their lives.
