Does anybody know what treatments are available for pregnant mothers who are suffering from pre partum depression & who suffered from post partum depression in previous pregnancy?

Hi,

I don't know any particular cure, but all the books I read tells me to consult a professional. Have you talked to your doctor? I am sure he/she can refer you to someone. I had some down days in the past but I learned that unless it does not persist, they don't recognize it as depression. Sorry I am not much of a help...hope you will feel better soon.

I can't give you advice but i notice also some down, desperate feelings who remind me of my post-natal depression, and i will try yoga the end of juli specialy for pregnant woman ( i'm 24 weeks pregnant) I do'nt think that we can take any medication.

This is much more common that realised. Mothers are not only depressed but are ashamed of their depression. Initially we thougt that some of the newer anti-depressants were safe in prgnancy but now there is more concern. You need to see a sympathetic professional who can help you and a support group of other mothers who have been through this.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will definitely consult my OB & see who he will recommend. If anybody has details of support groups around Hong Kong, please let me know. Thanks again.

Had it badly both pregnancies. Please see your OB, who will refer you to the relevant professionals. Good luck
