Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression?
Baby blues affect up to 80% of new mothers and resolve within 2 weeks. Symptoms lasting longer than 2 weeks, or that include hopelessness, inability to care for yourself or baby, panic attacks, or intrusive thoughts, may indicate a perinatal mood disorder requiring treatment.
Can fathers get postpartum depression?
Yes. Research shows that approximately 10% of new fathers experience perinatal mood disorders. PSI provides resources and support for all new parents, regardless of gender.
