A woman has to go through a number of important physical and mental changes. She also has to tackle the gender stereotypes that can be really pinching. She has the additional responsibilities of her home along with her career. All these factors tend to be a burden on her shoulders and they make themselves apparent sometimes in the form of depression. The past of a person also comes back to haunt in the form of depression.

I’m on Cipralex 20 mg. (Called something else over the world however.)
I heard hormone pills can cause a pregnancy test to show positive. I’ve taken a few tests and it shows positive.I don’t want to have to see my doctor yet (since I just moved and don’t know him) Does anti-depressants count for these hormone pills?
How about Florinef? I’m on that too?

I feel like i am on a emotional roller coaster! I Believe my bf is going crazy it was like i changed over night when i got pregnant! ugh! I am 10 weeks 4days and got forever to go! The mood swings are killing me!

I currently suffer from generalised anxiety disorder and am in my 22nd week of pregnancy. I’m constantly tense and anxious and find it hard to relax. Although I don’t get panick attacks any more & am sleeping well, I am really worried that my anxiety will harm my baby or something might happen because I am so tense.

The normal baby blues can happen in the days right after childbirth and normally disappear within a few days to a week. As a new mother, you can routinely have mood swings, sadness, crying spells, loss of appetite, sleeping problems or feel irritable, restless, anxious and lonely.

Usually, these symptoms are not severe and treatment is not needed. However, there are things you can do to feel better. Nap when the baby does. Ask for help from your spouse, family members and friends. Join a support group of new moms or talk with other moms.

I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks along and a d/c.I have had major depression.I have even had thoughts of harming myself.I rememberhaving some of these issues after my son was born but,it was different I could just hold him and everything would be ok.Not this time.I am scared does anyone know a suppport group or been here before.

For about 3 years now, I have on the anti-depressant Lexapro. When I become pregnant, [which we're hoping for soon!] obviously I cannot take the medication anymore, so I was wondering if the depression stays the same, or gets better or worse? If it is worse or the same, what do they use as treatment? Has anyone been through something similar?
I know that I can’t continue the Lexapro for now- I dont plan to.

I am over a week late with most pregancy symptoms (Feeling of nausea, sore back and breasts, insomnia, irritablilty, tiredness, moody etc), I’ve had 3 tests, 2 negative hpt’s and 1 negative blood test, so I’m definitely not pregnant.
What could be wrong with me? I have no idea of what could cause this, except depression.
Any ideas?
