The most common emotions associated with giving birth to your own child are obviously excitement, happiness, and maybe even anxiety but many women even experience depression. This type of depression is known as postpartum depression and is often referred to as the \u201cbaby blues\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/conditions\/depression\/\">We know that cannabis can help with the symptoms associated with depression<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but does the same hold true for postpartum depression? Let\u2019s find out!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is Postpartum Depression?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Postpartum depression is a common condition experienced by women<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who have just given birth. Like standard depression, it includes mood swings, crying spells, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping and the condition typically presents within two-three days after delivery and can last weeks. However, there is a noteworthy difference between postpartum depression and the baby blues. Postpartum depression is more severe and longer-lasting. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of postpartum depression can range from mild to severe and lasts for weeks to months while the &#8220;baby blues&#8221; only last a few days to a few weeks. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Symptoms Include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/conditions\/mood-disorders\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes in Mood<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/conditions\/anxiety\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anxiety<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sadness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irritability <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling overwhelmed<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced concentration<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appetite problems<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/conditions\/insomnia\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problems with sleeping <\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Struggling to bond\/connect with the baby<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When postpartum depression moves beyond being \u201cbaby blues\u201d, the new mom may experience additional symptoms that are significantly more severe. If symptoms continue to get worse or have not diminished after two weeks, it would be wise to consider reaching out to a medical professional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>More Severe Symptoms Include:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overwhelming fatigue<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anxiety attacks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or harming others<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeling unworthy or shameful<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopelessness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Withdrawing from family and friends<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Postpartum depression may be defined as a condition that&#8217;s exclusive to women who have just given birth that manifests because of the dramatic fluctuation of hormones, but new fathers can experience it as well. Fathers at risk include those who are young, have a history of depression, or are struggling with issues such as the relationship with mum and finances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16260528\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A study published in the US National Library of Medicine<\/a> found that <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15% of mothers experience postpartum depression but that the numbers are likely to be higher since so many women don&#8217;t report their experiences.\u00a0 This condition can be quite traumatic for mothers as they struggle to connect and bond with their baby, which is why finding an EFFECTIVE treatment is imperatively necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Does Cannabis Help?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannabis works with the body\u2019s endocannabinoid system (the ECS), which is responsible for maintaining processes that aid in maintaining homeostasis, such as reducing inflammation. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buffalo.edu\/news\/releases\/2015\/02\/004.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. Haj-Dahmane investigated cannabis for depression and explained<\/a> that \u201cusing compounds derived from cannabis -marijuana- to restore normal endocannabinoid function could potentially help stabilize moods and ease depression\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women diagnosed with postpartum depression are often prescribed pharmaceutical medication, particularly antidepressants, as well as therapy. However, taking certain medications just after birth presents some concerns, especially if the mother is nursing. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23249132\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Studies have shown the risks of taking these kinds of pharmaceuticals while breastfeeding<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Can cannabis be the effective solution to relief from postpartum depression? All signs point to yes but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/cannabis-and-breastfeeding-is-it-safe-and-what-are-the-risks\/\">what does research have to say about breastfeeding and cannabis use<\/a>? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current research on cannabis use while breastfeeding is thin but professionals, such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dspace.mssm.edu\/bitstream\/handle\/123456789\/31511\/MS%20in%20the%20News%202018_02.pdf?sequence=1&amp;isAllowed=y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. Yasmin Hurd, explain<\/a> that<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201ceven in early development, marijuana is changing critical circuits and neurotransmitter receptors\u201d and that the potential consequences of transmitting the psychoactive through breastfeeding aren\u2019t worth the risk. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/integrativemgi.com\/the-endocannabinoid-system-and-estrogen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New mothers are also prone to insufficient levels of an endocannabinoid known as anandamide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This endocannabinoid is responsible for regulating appetite and mood. Since the cannabinoid THC shares an identical chemical structure to anandamide, it can interact with the body in the same manner which the anandamide does. In other words, cannabis containing THC can assist in the regulation of food and replenishing of anandamide levels necessary to ward off mood swings. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29869197\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This 2018 study<\/a> published in Molecular Neurobiology also found that the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cannabidiol (CBD) cannabinoid induces \u201crapid and sustained antidepressant-like effects\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So in conclusion, cannabis can be helpful if you are one of the many mothers or even fathers suffering from postpartum depression. However, similar to taking pharmaceuticals, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/cannabis-and-breastfeeding-is-it-safe-and-what-are-the-risks\/\">new mothers consuming cannabis must consider the risks especially if breastfeeding<\/a> since more research is needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giving birth is a very emotional time.
