What Is Antenatal Depression?


The ASMR Psychologist
Published 5 years ago

In this video I am going to explain what Antenatal Depression is and show you a quick quiz so that you can decided if this is the problem that you are struggling with. The earlier that you identify that you are suffering from Antenatal Depression the better because it is one of the biggest risk factors for Postnatal Depression, Parenting Stress and long-term Clinical Depression. Also, knowing what the problem is the first and most important step to getting the help you need and then being able to enjoy your pregnancy and your new baby.
Antenatal Depression is a type of depression that effect 7-20% of women during their pregnancy, that is as many as 1 in 5 pregnant women. However, this problem really doesn’t get spoken about much, which means awareness is low and so many people are suffering when they don’t need to.
So, take the quiz in this video and diagnose yourself. Then speak to your midwife or healthcare provider as soon as you can because the earlier you get treatment the more effective it will be.
