Hypnotherapy for Postnatal Depression

Postnatal depression (PND) occurs in all cultures and all socio-economic classes, and can happen to child-bearing women of all ages.
Postnatal depression is not a modern condition. Each generation calls it something different. What we call PND today may have been called a ‘nervous breakdown’ 50 years ago.
Mild, moderate, or severe symptoms can begin during pregnancy (antenatal depression), suddenly after birth, or gradually in the weeks or months following delivery. Symptoms can emerge at any time during the first year after birth, but most cases have their onset within the first 4 months.
Postnatal depression can happen after miscarriage, stillbirth, normal delivery, or Caesarean delivery. Pregnancy is the common factor. This disorder generally happens mostly after a first baby, but can occur after any other pregnancy. It has a 50 per cent chance of recurrence with a subsequent pregnancy.
