Understanding Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression is a mental health disorder that falls under the heading of a mood disorder. It occurs in approximately one out of seven women who have recently given birth. If left untreated, the symptoms worsen and can develop into a major depressive disorder. As well, women who have had postpartum depression with the birth of one child have a higher risk of having it when their other babies are born.
Postpartum depression is not the fault of the mother, nor should she be blamed for developing it. This disorder can be cured by attending a professional treatment program.
Signs and Symptoms of Postpartum Depression
Signs of postpartum depression may be difficult for the mother or those close to her to comprehend as a mental health disorder.
Important signs and symptoms to look out for that indicate a woman needs postpartum depression treatment in Northern California include:
- Extreme depression
- Difficulty feeling joy or excitement about the new baby
- Crying
- Feeling hopeless
- Trouble bonding with the baby
- Overwhelmed by all the tasks related to having a baby
- Sleeping too much or too little
- Isolating from others
- Thoughts of harming the baby or herself
- Wishing the baby wasn’t there
- Guilt about not being the “perfect” new mother
Residential Treatment for Postpartum Depression
Sometimes, going to outpatient treatment for postpartum depression doesn’t provide enough support, and a round-the-clock facility is a better fit. Our postpartum depression treatment in Northern California includes residential treatment in a beautiful facility that gives 24/7 support for new moms who need complex care so they can return home feeling better.
People in treatment with us attend therapy sessions during the day and have downtime in the evening to relax and re-center themselves. Included in their stay are gourmet meals, housekeeping, and therapy support animals.
Causes of Postpartum Depression
While there isn’t one specific cause of postpartum depression, a few things can influence its development. If the woman’s family has a history of depression, it increases her chances of developing it. Additionally, hormones can contribute to having postpartum depression. This includes the fluctuation of hormones during and after pregnancy.
The 3 Types of Postpartum Depression
There are three types of postpartum depression, and it’s important to get an evaluation from a mental health professional to find out a person’s exact diagnosis.
The three types of postpartum depression include:
- Postpartum blues (also called baby blues): Between 50% to 75% of women experience this condition, which typically begins in the first week and ends within two weeks.
- Postpartum depression: Mild to severe symptoms begin within a week of giving birth and can last for months without proper treatment.
- Postpartum psychosis: An extreme type of postpartum depression affects 1 out of 1,000 women and often requires hospitalization for the safety of the mother and child.
How Long Does Postpartum Depression Last?
How long postpartum depression lasts depends on the type the woman has, how her individual system works, and what treatment she gets. It can last from a few weeks to several months. When the woman does not get treatment, the symptoms tend to worsen over time.

Postpartum depression treatment works best when it includes several options for types of therapy modalities. Each one arms the individual with ways to enjoy positivity and hopefulness again and minimize their depressive symptoms. We also offer access to prescription drugs that work well with new mothers when it comes to easing their symptoms.
