If it were to define
depression we
could say that it is a time when one
feels extreme sadness. Feeling sad is not an unnatural part of our
lives but in the case of a
depression
this is a whole other fact. The
various types of
depression is a
feeling so strong that it interferes a
lot with ones
life and activities. Sleeping and eating are the most common activities
that are affected sometimes with serious repercussions. Cases of
various types of
depression in women
are very common even more common
in pregnant women.

of both her and the baby are not to be compromised in any way or at any
time during and after the pregnancy.

depression are
actually very
common in pregnant women much to the surprise of a lot of people. Till
not some long time ago certain health and care professionals thought
that actually women couldn’t suffer from various types of
depressions
during pregnancy
because of certain hormones that are active at this time of their
lives. Hormones like these were thought to have the power to actually
protect the women from this kind of mood swings during this 9 month
period of their lives.
Actually the case in pregnant woman is the other way around. Because
the levels of hormones increase at such a high rate it was found that
this was the actual trigger of the
depressions.

done are quite worrying if we sit and look at them carefully: while
some 20 % of pregnant women develop some type of
depressions during the
time of labor another 10 % may develop very serious cases of
depressions that
might actually require special treatment.

chemical changes and hormone changes differences in the mood of the
women are very possible to happen and also common. Many depressed
