Walsh, M.S. takes a look at 3 major depressive states as well as 10 lesser depressive states such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), postpartum, anxiety, chronic, psychotic and other types of depression. We also look at various free online tests to help determine whether their state is really depression or something else. Mild depressive states can sometimes be successfully treated with herbs. More severe cases are treated medically using SSRIs or perhaps therapy or even electrical brain stimulation.

Pregnant women are encouraged to get enough exercise and rest in order to manage their moods and prevent the development of chronic depression. Chronic or severe depression requires the intervention of a qualified professional. Psychotherapy is one of the popular treatments for depression. The patient is thoroughly interviewed to determine all the risk factors involved then an appropriate therapy and perhaps some medication is prescribed. The mental health practitioner works hand in hand with the obstetrician to determine the best antidepressant for the patient. This is because antidepressants may have adverse effects on the unborn baby and can even lead to congenital malfunctions. Other maternal complications such as gestational diabetes may also be triggered by the use of antidepressant therapy. It is important while pregnant to watch out for the physical symptoms of depression and take the most appropriate actions in order to prevent further complications for the mother as well as the child.
