What's the difference between postpartum depression and the baby blues?

In the weeks right after giving birth, it’s common to feel heightened emotions, mood swings, and sadness. And you might not feel connected to your baby right away. These feelings can be typical and are often referred to as the “baby blues.” But if these symptoms are severe, last longer than 2 weeks, or if you are concerned you may harm yourself or your baby—you may be experiencing a condition called postpartum depression.

Perinatal depression is a mood disorder that occurs during pregnancy and after childbirth. The symptoms can range from mild to severe. Some symptoms of postpartum depression overlap with those of depression but may include more severe symptoms that can affect the health of both mom and baby. Postpartum depression is sometimes referred to as postnatal depression or ‘peripartum depression’ which starts during pregnancy and can continue after delivery.

Can postpartum depression (PPD) be treated virtually?

Absolutely. In most cases, virtual treatment for PPD is as effective as in-person care.

Our goal is to help you find the best treatment option for your needs and there may be some cases where virtual care isn't the right fit. If this is the case, your psychiatrist will be able to recommend other treatment options within your first visit.
