Action on Postpartum Psychosis’ Post

Here are five signs of postpartum that you shouldn't ignore If you notice any of these signs, it's important to seek help and support. Postpartum depression is a serious condition, but with early intervention and proper care, it can be managed effectively. Don't hesitate to reach out to healthcare professionals or support groups if you're experiencing any of these signs. Your well-being is important, and there are resources available to help you through this challenging time. Share your thoughts on this.

While both #postpartumdepression (PPD) and the baby blues can impact mood during the postpartum period, they can be differentiated by two key factors: severity and time to resolution. 1. Severity: Unlike PPD symptoms that are more severe and debilitating, baby blues symptoms are mild and will not affect a mother's ability to care for herself or her family.  2. Time to Resolution: While PPD may last months or even years if left untreated, baby blues symptoms typically peak during the first week postpartum and resolve without treatment within two weeks. Understanding the symptoms of PPD can be a pivotal step in learning how and when to ask for support. Remember, you are not alone, and help is within reach. Reach out to your healthcare provider for support. And to learn more about the symptoms of PPD and resources available, visit Postpartum Support International's resource page at https://bit.ly/3RqNX07.

Myriad treatment barriers prevent birthing parents with postpartum depression (PPD) from receiving timely treatment. Peer-delivered 1-day CBT-based workshops can improve PPD and are a potentially scalable low-intensity treatment that could help increase treatment access. The workshop plus TAU was more cost-effective than TAU alone. Read the paper at the following link: https://lnkd.in/dqxnEd2j

The Child Growth Awareness Day highlights the importance of height as an early warning signal for parents to know a child’s physical progress, health and overall well-being. Over 4000 disorders impact a child’s physical growth. Stunted growth or even growing too quickly or entering puberty too soon may signal a treatable medical condition. Growing at least 2’’ per year after the age of 3 until puberty is considered as normal growth. While maintaining normal growth pattern is a good indicator of child’s overall good health, tracking physical growth is crucial. Various growth charts, measurement of head circumference are used by many Peadiatricians to monitor growth.
