How long does postnatal depression last? do hormones take a long time to settle. i had my son 13 months ago
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be a long delay: Depression is considered potnatal( parting) if it begins up to 1 year after birth . Intervention( often including medication) may be necessary for resolution. Exercise, appropriate nutrition including a good multivitamin supplement and definately fish oil can also help-at least 1000mg of a good quality fish oil i would also recommend evaluation by a psychiatrist -at least a counselor.
