It's National Depression Screening Day, it's important to check on your mental health especially after having a baby!
The birth of a baby can trigger a jumble of powerful emotions, from excitement and joy to fear and anxiety. But it can also result in something you might not expect — depression.
Most new moms experience postpartum "baby blues" after childbirth, which commonly include mood swings, crying spells, anxiety and difficulty sleeping.
But some new moms experience a more severe, long-lasting form of depression known as postpartum depression.
