Birth is a very happy moment. However, some mothers may experience postpartum depression afterwards. Symptoms of postpartum depression include; reluctance, loss of appetite, decreased or increased sleep, decreased or increased appetite, intense feeling of emptiness, desire to cry, decreased interest in the environment, exhaustion, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, irritability, rapid mood change, withdrawal from sexuality, problems in focusing, indecision, suicidal thoughts and decreased functionality. Insomnia, irritability, anxiety and confusion are expected symptoms after childbirth. However, a diagnosis of "Postpartum Depression" can be made when more severe symptoms such as excessive changes in weight, thoughts of harming oneself or the baby, and excessive mobility persist for 4 weeks after delivery.

The causes of postpartum depression include biological factors, psychological factors and environmental factors. Biological factors include hereditary characteristics inherited from the family, psychological factors include misinterpretations, and social factors may include changes in spousal and family relationships during pregnancy.

If you have recently had a baby but are concerned about your mood, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale Test can help.
