Can You Experience Postpartum Depression Up to 9 Mos After Giving Birth?
Question by Taryn: Can you experience postpartum depression up to 9 mos after giving birth?
I had a c- section to deliver my son and I became ill after and wasn’t felling myself for about 3 mos. Also I went through a lot of hardships soon after. My son is now 9 months and I feel really depressed, perhaps I have a little the whole time, but now it seems to be unbearable. I feel like driving far away, but most of the time I stay in my room in the dark and sleep sometimes cry. Could this possibly be postpartum depression?

Yes I have heard of women that don’t experience it until almost 2 years later…Please go see your doctor.

DEFINITELY!!!! PPD usually occurs anytime within the first year postpartum. I too went through many difficulties like you after having my baby, such as financial stress, stress with my living situation, lack of emotional support system, etc. If it is unbearable, an antidepressant will really help you feel better and help the depression go away!
It could very well be PPD. I would see your gynecologist or make an appt with a psychologist right away. Don’t be afraid of what they will think! PPD is VERY common and it isn’t your fault. You’re a great mom! 🙂
