Which antidepressant is prescribed to a new mother diagnosed with depression?
In your case it is important to distinguish b/w Postpartum Blues vs Postpartum Depression. 1 week is within the time frame for PPBlues PLUS it must not be interfering with the care of your child. This is due to normal hormonal changes and generally resolves within 2 weeks. Now if your symptoms are more severe and are interfering with the care of your child you should seek treatment. I suggest a short-acting SSRI like Zoloft or Paxil. Once started you should remain on a treatment course for at least 8-12 weeks. READ MORE
