How can women differentiate between normal emotional changes during pregnancy and signs of depression?

12mo ago

Signs of depression include feeling low persistently no matter the situation, or not enjoying what we used to, sleep difficulties, feeling tired, negative thoughts such as worthlessness, guilt and hopelessness, having thoughts of death, poor concentration, agitated or slowed down thinking and moving as well as changes in appetite. This is a constellation of symptoms which persist for at least two weeks. If anyone experiences these symptoms then it is best to meet a medical practitioner for advice and treatment.
