An Investigation of Postpartum Depression

Since postpartum depression (PPD) is a nationally controversial topic, investigation of postpartum depression has been cited as a recent controversy of Andrea Yates' murder trial. Because Andrea was drowning five children in a bathtub or a plan to avoid death sentences, it is really mentally ill. The prosecutor believes that the spouse's vengeance theory is the motive for killing. Whether she can kill a possessive and arrogant husband.

There are few studies investigating depression and social support after childbirth. Postpartum period is a tension period in which women need enormous physical and mental support and is a period associated with high levels of depression. Previous studies have shown that most postnatal mothers are concerned about the amount of support and that long-term postpartum depression is closely related to lack of social support. The most effective illness seems to be a combination of medicine and counseling. If a woman is in danger of herself, she may need to be hospitalized before she can stabilize her condition. The most commonly used drugs are antidepressants such as Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac etc. Although older specific medications are still in use, they do not seem to be as effective as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Group therapy is also known to be a very effective treatment

Traditionally postpartum mental illness has been divided into three categories based on increasing severity: postpartum depression, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis. Postpartum depression (PPD) is thought to affect 4 to 28% of all mothers. It is very common, but that is not very clear. This is the duration, severity and complexity of the symptoms that distinguish between PPD and infant depression and postpartum psychosis (Romm, 2002). PPD affects every woman regardless of age, fiscal situation, cultural background. Symptoms include madness, annoyance, indifference, anxiety, crying, doing nothing, making decisions, or concentrating. It can be started at any time during the first few days, weeks or months after delivery. The exact cause is not clear, but the hormone level may fluctuate and cause fatigue and stress

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a symptom common in women after childbirth. It happens in all racial, ethnic, socio-economic situations. PPD is a serious form of depression that affects mothers after childbirth. It involves serious depression, sorrow, and loneliness. Cheryl Tatano Beck is a nursing theorist known for the development of postpartum depression and postpartum depression screening scale (PDSS), as well as the development of predictors of postpartum depression.
