Baby blues vs. postpartum depression

Common questions
Questions about women's mental health.
What is postpartum depression and how is it different from baby blues?
Baby blues are a brief period of tearfulness, mood swings, and emotional sensitivity in the first one to two weeks after childbirth — very common and typically self-resolving. Postpartum depression is more intense, lasts longer (beyond two weeks), and significantly affects daily functioning. It is a medical condition that responds well to treatment — speaking with a psychiatrist is the right first step.
Is it safe to take medication for depression during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
This is a carefully individualised decision. Some medications are considered safer than others in perinatal contexts, and the risks of untreated depression also matter. Dr. Heena discusses all options — including non-medication approaches — transparently, so you can make an informed decision with full support.
What is PMDD?
PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) is a condition involving severe mood symptoms — depression, irritability, anxiety — in the week or two before a period. It goes beyond typical PMS and can significantly disrupt relationships and work. It is recognisable and treatable with the right assessment.
I feel disconnected from my baby — is something wrong with me?
Feelings of disconnection, numbness, or difficulty bonding after childbirth are more common than people realise, and are often a sign of postpartum depression — not a reflection of your love for your child or your abilities as a mother. Please reach out for support. You are not alone, and this is treatable.
