That's so fantastic of you, the most important support your wife can get at the moment is professional help and loads of support from all her family and friends. I've dealt with postpartum depression myself and 2 years after having my first baby it is starting to get better. It's a long and hard road but I wish the best for you and your family!

Your an amazing husband and father! I had that issue and believe me I felt I was locked up in a bubble. In reality if felt like I was in a dessert without no one. For some reason I felt like I needed to end all suffering for all of us and specially my new baby. I wanted to either end my life or the new born. Thinking this was the way out but I screamed for help. I told my husband what was happening in my head. He did not understand but tried helping me by taking the baby away. It took about 8 months to go away, but what helped me was. Writing down what I felt and group support. Meds helps but causes drowsiness. I tried herbs and it helped.

I always thought PPD was bs and that’s only a terrible person would feel they way they do after birth, but with my fiancé being pregnant I’ve been doing a lot of research and it makes me sad that the stigma exist. I still don’t understand how the human brain could do that to a mother, but as a suicide attempt survive to know our brain is wack heck. Glad there are women speaking up about it so I can learn.

Thank you for changing your outlook on it. It happens mostly because of hormonal changes that occur after the birth and like the presenter said, it's made worse by sleep deprivation. Make sure you're helping her and allowing her to take care of herself by showering, eating well and sleeping. Too many people seem to forget that the men helped make those babies so they can help take care of them. My ex's family finally made him help me. So please do all the research you can and support her all the way.

I’m so sorry you are not the same person you feel like you should be. Having children should enhance your life. No, it certainly doesn’t solve all of your life problems as the comment above said, that’s for sure! I had PPD after my 2nd child. I didn’t have it to the extreme of hearing and seeing things, just EXTREMELY depressed. I thought I was going crazy. Even my doctor didn’t say anything about it. It’s been 14 years ago, and he’s a great doctor, but I didn’t think about it either until later. I got on an antidepressant and got on the level I needed, and an anxiety medication. I finally was able to enjoy my child. Both of them. My first one was 14, so he was getting into his teens, but it helped me so much. Ask for help, if any kind. Don’t be embarrassed to be on medication for depression or anxiety or whatever you are feeling. ❤

I’m a father of newborn 3 weeks old, and this video made me realize it’s so much more than it being a little depression like our fathers around me say.. I believe the men are too Embarrassed to talk about it with family and friends. I never once got advice of what to do and say to make her feel better. The doctors and nurses brush it off so quick like it a flu you’ll get over. No, this is much more. But I’m here for her and for my little one while we work through this. Today we’re going to begin looking for professional help, thanks for the video!

I hope things are better now!

I was just looking through the obituaries and I found one of a woman who died from suicide in January after having a baby in November. It said her most important dream was to become a mother and that she suffered from a severe form of postpartum depression after having her daughter. She was 45 years old. Very sad.

A nurse at my school has been struggling with this for years...last night she took her own life.. she was loved by many, myself included, so this has majorly affected everyone at my school...

People need to stop shaming women for having PPD. It keeps them from getting the help they need. My sister-in-law had me convinced that if I went to the hospital to get help that they would call CPS and take my son away. I am angry at her to this day because she delayed me getting the help that I so desperately needed. She had me convinced that I was a terrible mother who couldn't do anything right and to be honest, I can't stand her. I've never liked her to begin with but that just made it worse.

People really do need to stop shaming. I just need to say your sister in law was kind of right. Not in your situation but in mine. I admitted that I may have ppd in Hospital 5 weeks postpatrum and they went and made 'calls' I didn't have any thoughts of harming my child but they called social services and tried to have my baby taken off me. Now I have to pretend I don't have ppd and now it kills me everyday that the only 'help' I receive is having my child taken. Your sister in law does have a point about that. So happy you got your help.

Update a year later?

I have anxiety and depression, so researching postpartum depression made me stay firm on my decision to not have children. When I'm feeling low it's a chore doing simple things around the house and I just want to be alone or just cuddle with my husband. A child would drive me nuts.

She is very brave to have given this speech. It would be difficult to be this honest to this many people as a woman. I think it’s tough to admit when we get this issue. I started watching for it at the end of my pregnancy and I’m glad there’s so much awareness bc I am able to make a plan in case it happens.

It's a real tragedy that this conversation is not getting anywhere near the attention it deserves, because raising awareness and working against the stigma would save so many lives. The videos that show up when you search "postpartum depression" have very few views on average. But the results depend a lot on the search settings (in the app, you can find them by tapping the three dots to the right of search bar and tap Filters). Search results on KZread are sorted by relevance on default, and in this case it seems to favor more educational videos. When I sorted by view count it turned out that there are many videos about PPD with a lot more views, though no more than 18M. But that's when you get a few more unsavory and sensational stories like true crime videos. To find more personal stories like vlogs etc., sorting by rating does the trick.

Thank you for sharing your story, Auburn. This message NEEDS to be heard and I love how you so eloquently and powerfully made that clear. I am a two time survivor of postpartum psychosis, and I too had the opportunity to share my story in a TEDx talk in Hamilton, MT. In listening to your story I was struck by how similar our thoughts and feelings were, and yet how our stories were unique in our own ways. Praying that you continue to heal and speak your truth! Way to go momma!

Pain, delivery, hormones, breastfeeding...now PPD. I think I made up my mind about being pregnant. Here I go adoption. Thank you for sharing the experience.

11:11 "YES" says a woman and simultaneously by a man from the audience. Both of you are angels. God bless you. The courage and confidence that you have are at the right direction. Salute you. 😘 For those who don't get it, the loud yes is a powerful encouragement and acknowledgement for the woman who spoke about the problem. She would have cured another 50%

Thank you for your courage and vulnerability

Thanks for talking about this, I've been experiencing symptoms of postpartum anxiety. I am a SAHM of 3 (8, 4 & 3months old), my husband has been deployed for a few months and I have been under a lot of stress. I had a panic attack last week and since then I feel panicky, anxious and afraid that I'll have another attack. My middle kid got injured and my thoughts were racing all the worst case scenarios and how I had noone to call for help. I KNEW my kiddo was fine, but I couldn't stop the panic. I had my baby in the ring sling carrier and I got more scared that I would pass out and hurt her, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't talk, my body wanted to run but I wanted to just curl up in a ball on the floor. My whole body was shaking and my baby was starting to push away from me. I tried getting her off but my fingers were going numb and I was panicked. I pushed my back against the wall and focused on my breathing, if I could just control it and focus. I tried to smell my babies head, and hugged her. Then I called my husband and put the baby down on the bed. I was like on autopilot for the next hour or 2. Like I couldn't trust myself, and I was exhausted. For a few days I felt like I would have another panic attack. Like it was just one wrong breath away, I could almost feel it in my chest just waiting to attack again. I'm trying to take better care of myself, taking time to be in the moment instead of feeling rushed and can't keep up with the chores, responsibilities and still be a good mom. It's like all those mom fears and guilt but times 10, it's that loneliness and missing family and friends while he's deployed times 10 and not wanting to acknowledge it because it takes too much from me and would make me sad.

Courageous mama! Thanks for sharing your insights with the world. We all need to hear this.

Wow. That was powerful and necessary. A tragic story from our community saw the most beautiful light of a person take her own life. I don't think a suicide has ever impacted me as much as this one and I didn't even know this woman all that well, she was my son's grade 1 teacher, active in the community, energetic, giving, and kind. Her baby was 6 months old when she could not go on. I wish it had not happened. It seems so unfair and unimaginable that something so debilitating could happen to someone so high-functioning.

Auburn you are brave, beautiful and an inspiration! I am sorry you suffered so greatly from postpartum depression. Thank you for turning your pain into positive dialogue! You are an inspiration for sharing your story to help others! (And you do so with such poise- an incredible public speaker!!)

Brilliant. The way she put it forward, she felt it and she made others feel it. She is definitely still in the process. God bless woman who go through this.

The nausea she talks about, it is what I experienced, among others, and could not find an explanation apart from dehydration, even though I drank a lot of water. I read so much about pregnancy and perinatal events, yet I superficially dismissed PPD, I thought that would not happen to me. Boy, was I wrong! The worst, though, is my cousin getting postpartum psychosis and doctors not being able to diagnose it and her support network not being reliable in the process. I am binging on these videos because I cannot comprehend how this topic is not discussed more often among women and men alike.

my mum had ppd both after me and my sister, she doesn't like to talk about it but I remember her saying she went untreated after having me and didn't seek help until 3 months after having my sister who is 4 years younger than me. I remember her walking me to school one day and having a breakdown in the middle of the street because she put my shoes on the wrong feet and I kept tripping up over my shoes. I also have a lot of memories of her being very distant and not wanting to engage with me or my sister she only disciplined us but would often overreact to minor bad behaviours such as bad manors, which are fairly normal in young children. im now 22 and my sister is almost 18 and our mum is still very much the same, she's very distant she likes to control us and often blames us for things that go wrong in her own life that we have nothing to do with.

Needed this. ❤

I don't think alot of people understand that even without depression or ptsd mothers constantly hear babies crying in their head, even when away from their children. Child birth isn't always the beautiful thing the diaper ads portray.

This presentation by Auburn Harrison was very eye opening into the struggles mothers can face postpartum. Even after taking our second reproductive block of medical school, I had no clue that postpartum depression is the most common complication of childbirth. However, I am not surprised that this issue is pushed off and ignored by healthcare providers. It’s extremely disheartening to hear about the multiple providers that ignored Auburn’s concerns. Her story about the ER physician taking five minutes to talk to her and find out what she was feeling shows how easy it can be to support our patients. During this encounter, the physician was also the first person to acknowledge that postpartum depression is common and that she needed treatment. While things did not necessarily improve for Auburn after this encounter, it seems like it was at least a step in the right direction. It amazes me that all a provider needed to be able to diagnose Auburn was a five minute conversation. She did not need all the tests that she had been put through at the emergency department a week before. Had the providers taken Auburn’s concerns seriously, maybe she could have gotten help sooner than she did. Auburn was really an advocate for herself even during this difficult time of her life. However, I think the providers she interacted with should have given her more autonomy in her care. In medical ethics, autonomy is the principle of having control in your care. Nobody knows your body and your emotions better than you. For this reason, I cannot believe that multiple providers ignored the signs of postpartum depression that were being laid out for them. By ignoring her concerns, they made the situation worse for Auburn. Overall, what I learned from this presentation is that it does not always take much to be there for our patients. By giving a listening ear for just five patients, we can show a patient that we care. This also gives us the time to learn about everything the patient is going through. Therefore, helping us see where care is truly needed. Giving our patients time to talk also gives them autonomy and allows them to have a say in their own health. Auburn’s story really showed me the importance in listening and trusting our patients' judgment.

The mindfulness book "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels is a good resource.

Yeah but if you admit it or ask for help you are looked at as a “bad mother” I love my kids it’s me that’s messed up sad, depressed, paranoia, anger but I had it 2 pregnancies back to back so it’s pretty bad at this point.

My wife had got a bit of a little bit of everything a woman goes through ,I love her but she drives me nuts! 😫 And our 3 kids are now teenagers ,when does It all end!?🤔 She's got a mix of everything going on at different levels.

It is a condition but I think the children should be somewhere a little safer until ur meds regulate an ur metal awareness improves just to be on the safe side

It’s internal. It ends when you know it will end. It stays when you need it to stay. Caused by a spiritual imbalance in us after we suffered a major event in our lives. Child birth is a major event. Its like your skin is slipping off your bones afterwards, and nothing satisfies you. To fix it, you need to re-establish yourself. It’s the shadow aspects of ourselves~all those insecurities, weaknesses, & biases we’ve held onto. When we bare a child before fixing it in ourselves, we reject it. It’s as if our soul is flipped inside out on itself. For 2 years, the soul has been trying to rebuild itself~Fixing the brokenness. If you listen to the woman, you’ll notice her voice cracks. It’s a sign of what she’s been through in her soul. She was broken. But gave birth anyways. You’re allowed to. But the fact is, something within needs repair. And when you do just that, your children will thank you for never being their first wound. 🤞🏾❣️

It's completely normal especially if it hasn't been treated. Treatment is sometimes medication but is often therapy, nutrition, exercise, sleep, respite, mindfulness therapy and building community. Covid has made life, including access to care and often also financial security hard. I'm sorry you are still going through it. Be as gentle with yourself as you can.

After the postpartum period, it is considered major depression if it lasts longer especially 2 years

You need to get help, don't be afraid to. PPD can become permanent if left untreated.

Men deal with this too. I did

How long can it last?

Mine is starting to get better 2 years after having my son. Postpartum depression affected me when he was 6 months. So mine was 1.5 years x

yes

has anyone ever heard of the wife being unfaithful to the husband during PPD

The only reason why women develop depression is modern lives. Independance -i call it loneliness- brings trauma. Raising whole families alone is a real violence. In more traditional countries it tooks a whole village to raise childs.

Sounds like post partum psychosis

@DømiNğø🛻 women will feel out of reality. They will have delusions or strange beliefs. Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't there) Feeling very irritated. Hyperactivity. Decreased need for or inability to sleep. Paranoia and suspiciousness. Rapid mood swings. Difficulty communicating.

women are so complicated omg

And the audacity of trans woman claiming they can be a woman too and can be a mother.

I'm not saying, I don't believe her. I'm just saying, why do all of the Ted talks about ppd feel like and acted monolog? I don't know, maybe it's just me. I'm currently suffering from ppd. I just hate everyone who has any joy lately... and that's awful. I came to KZread, in search of some comfort, to get out of my head a bit. To feel, normal.... hearing it's common doesn't make me feel better. It doesn't even make me feel less alone.. idk how I feel.
