Understanding Depression in New Mothers
There are three types of depression that new mothers can experience. The baby blues is a mild form of depression that happens a few days after birth and lasts for a few weeks. Postpartum depression is more severe and can occur up to a year after birth and last for 3–6 months or longer. Postpartum psychosis is a rare form of depression in new mothers that can lead to self-harming thoughts for themselves and their babies.
Some of the symptoms of postpartum depression include:
- Severe mood swings and major depression
- Excessing crying
- Having trouble bonding with their baby
- insomnia/hyposomnia
- Overwhelming fatigue or lack of energy
- Severe anxiety and panic attacks
At Crestview Recovery, our postpartum depression treatment center in Portland helps mothers cope with depression after birth. They will participate in group and individual therapy to develop coping skills and build their confidence in managing their symptoms—no matter how stressful things become.
Postpartum Depression Treatment in Portland
Here are some of the programs used for treating postpartum depression treatment in Portland:
This type of behavioral therapy focuses on helping clients change their negative thoughts and behaviors and develop coping skills to manage their symptoms and better care for their children.
DBT is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on mothers who are experiencing suicidal thoughts or other self-destructive behavior. Therapists or counselors work to change their negative perspectives and see things in a positive light.
Clients participate in various holistic therapies that can teach them about mindfulness and meditation and pick up new interests through music, art, or pet therapy.
For cases of severe depression, anti-depressants, and other medications are available to reduce depression symptoms. In addition, they enable clients to focus fully on their recovery.
Young mothers with severe postpartum depression will benefit from a residential program with 24/7 support. On the other hand, those with milder symptoms will receive therapy through an outpatient or telehealth treatment program.
