anyone diagnosed at 10m pp or later?

I have an appointment with my OB soon but have heard conflicting (anecdotal) stories about it being too late to be considered PPD.

Thanks!

PPD symptoms can pop up anytime during the first year or one year after stopping BFing.  10m pp isn't too late.  GL, I hope everything works out!

I went to my family doctor today, I've been battling for a year now, but never said alright, something is up go see a doctor.  It has gotten so bad that I caved.  She told me that your hormones can get all crazy during pregnancy and after pregnancy, even now with me at 13 months she called it PPD.  I got a script for Zoloft from her.

I did call my OB and since I had my baby 13 months ago, they wouldn't see me for PPD, they told me I had to see my family doctor.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well :-( It's definitely not too late for PPD. If you don't get what you need from your OB, push to see a psychiatrist and a therapist. I'm now seeing both (psych just for meds), and I feel like I'm in very good hands. Good luck with your appointment!

I'm sure I had PPD before I was diagnosed when my LO was 9 months old.  It took me a long time to get help.  I was prescribed Zoloft, and was terrified of taking it.  My LO is 13 months old and I just popped the first pill a few minutes ago. 

It got seriously worse with my first PP period (9 months) and I thought maybe giving my body time to 'get back to normal' would help.  My periods are a nightmare now, compared to pre-baby.  I couldn't wait anymore.  I hope my these meds work. 

I hope you find the help & answers you need.
