Depression - Getting Old Syndrome

When people reach the age of 60 and above, they tend to feel left out. They retire and stay at home watching TV or doing nothing. This makes them feel lonely and depressed. Furthermore, they have been through many of life’s challenges – passing away of loved ones, being left by sons and daughters, health problems, and others.

Depression - Hormonal Changes After Childbirth

Some women tend to have a depression illness after their baby is born. It is called Postpartum Depression, but many people call it the “baby blues.” This type of depression is caused by hormonal changes upon pregnancy.

When the mother experiences depression before giving birth, there’s a bigger chance that she will experience more depressive feelings after the child is born. Sometimes the mother will feel awful for having this kind of feeling, when she’s supposed to be exhilarated with her baby.

There is nothing to be ashamed about. This is not the mother’s fault. It’s cause by the hormonal changes, and could be aggravated by the stress of waking up at night to feed the baby, work-related and travel-related stress, as well as increase in the over-all expenses.

This type depression will disappear as time passes by, but getting support and medication could help in easing the current problem.
