A member asked:
Can i ask my obgyn about postpartum depression, or will i need a referal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If you already have an upcoming appointment with your obgyn, i would go ahead and mention it to him/her. Some obgyn's are comfortable in providing some guidance and/or starting treatment of postpartum depression. If not, i would see a psychiatrist for an evaluation. Depending on how your insurance company works, you may need a referral from your pcp.
