If you have a question that you want me to answer on one of these episodes, go to my website, Angel swan.com/quick tip and submit your question. So today’s question is from Tana And she asks, What’s the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression. So the feelings are generally the same. Although baby blues does tend to come with a lot of like, it’s like an emotional roller coaster. It’s not typically a steady stream of depression. So you’ll have these crazy mood swings or one minute you’re happy, and you’re crying tears of joy, and the next minute you’re sad and feeling depressed and hopeless, and unmotivated. The difference the main difference is that baby blues will last about two weeks. And typically you’ll see that anywhere like three to six weeks postpartum was when it will show up, that’s when your hormones are kind of flooding, and even leaving your body and then anything that’s lasting longer than the two weeks is what would we that’s what we would consider postpartum depression. So if you’re having any symptoms of depression, sadness, loneliness, hopelessness, worthlessness, anything like that lasting longer than two weeks, you should absolutely reach out to a mental health professional. I did want to just put this offer out there for you, if you go to Angel swan.com/bright side, you can join bright side is an online mental health platform where you can receive counseling therapy, you can even receive medication through there, get $50 off your first month of treatment, when you go to Angel swan.com/bright side and click on the Big Blue Button.
