Post Natal Depression

Depression is believed to stem from a chemical imbalance in the brain, which can be addressed by medication. Alterations are made by changing the levels of different neurotransmitters – chemicals which conduct electrical impulses between neurons – in the brain. It is these chemicals that regulate or control a number of your bodily functions, including your mood. Experts believe that depression is caused by a lack of the neurotransmitters serotonin and noradrenaline.

For now, a simple life is a happy one. Relaxation, security and routine will be immensely helpful in this respect.

Just having a healthy, happy and fed baby when it comes to teatime is enough for you to call yourself a wonderful mum.

Introducing some gentle exercise to your daily routine can make your body produce endorphins, hormones which make you feel good. As unpleasant as this may sound initially, it’ll get easier over time and will have a wonderful impact on your mental and physical health.

The goal is to show you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
