Prenatal depression is a mood disorder that affects pregnant women, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. It can lead to feelings of sadness, anxiety, and difficulty bonding with the baby. Common signs include irritability, fatigue, and changes in sleep or eating habits. Treatment often involves medication management (such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and behavioral therapy, especially cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Early treatment can enhance the well-being of both the mother and baby, promoting better health outcomes for both during and after pregnancy.
