💙 Baby Blues vs PPD vs PPA: Know the Difference 💙

Not every mood change after birth is the same:

🔹 Baby Blues: Mild mood swings, tears, irritability; usually resolves within 2 weeks.
🔹 Postpartum Depression (PPD): Persistent sadness, hopelessness, low energy, loss of interest; can last months without treatment.
🔹 Postpartum Anxiety (PPA): Intense worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks; can interfere with daily life.

Recognizing the signs early is key to recovery. Mental Illness Awareness Week is the perfect time to learn, reach out, and support each other.

*️⃣ Perinatal mental health disorders also include OCD, Bipolar Mood Disorders, PTSD, and Psychosis. *️⃣

This is why a thorough review of your supplements and medical guidance on what you take is important, whether it is a supplement or prescription medicine.

Dr. A is an integrative OBGYN and we provide integrative pregnancy care.

What IS integrative medicine?

The word ‘integrative’ comes from the Latin root integrāre, meaning ‘to restore.’

The suffix ‘-ive’ turns this idea into action.

Paired with the word medicine, rooted in ‘the art of healing,’ you have integrative medicine.

Integrative medicine is healing-forward.

It is whole person healthcare that considers the body, mind, and spirit.

It is nutrition through food and community.

It is evidence-informed and research-driven.

It is personalized, preventative, diagnostic, and looks for root cause.

It values the practitioner, the patient, and their partnership.

It is family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, neurology, oncology, dermatology, psychiatry, and every field of medicine that touches patient healthcare.

Integrative medicine is, in every sense, good medicine and the future of healthcare.
