post partum depression

Hi ladies!
how did u handle post partum depression..

Hi Aish,
Couple of methods to handle postpartum depression.
1) If you are feeling overwhelmed with the baby get help to take care of the baby.
2) Develop a good circle of friends.
3) Learn yoga and pranayama from a very good teacher.
4) Practice meditation/kriyas. The Sudarshan Kriya from Art of Living program is helping me a lot.
5) Network with other mommies with babies in the same age group as yours.
6) I did not find anti-depressants or marital counseling very helpful. I am speaking from personal experience and my statement might not be representative.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Kavya.
