Anyone develop PPD later after delivery?

SamsMom91

I think I've always had mild PPD, but I was coping as best I could.  My son is almost 9 months old.  I had a traumatic family event about a month and a half ago and I feel like my world has been turned upside down since.  I have this rage--it comes out of nowhere and I have to go away for an hour or so to calm down.  I have no energy to do anything, I'm driving my DH nuts.  My mood swings are crazy.  I feel like I'm losing my mind at times. 

Is it really possible to develop full-blown PPD 9 months after delivery?  How likely is that?

it can happen up to a year after you stop breast feeding..... so yes very possible.

I'm going through something similar minus the traumatic event and I'm 13 months out.  I have an appointment with a counselor today.  I'll let you know what she says, but when DH called to make the appointment (couldn't even do that myself ) she told him what he was describing sounded a lot like PPD and he had already mentioned that our baby was 13 months old.

I had a very similar experience, always think I had mild PPD, but recently after a couple of events it went full blown exactly how you described and I was diagnosed & put on meds this week.  10.5 months later.

If you want to talk about it, please feel free to msg me on FB.  If not, and you need space...I'll pretend I didn't see this. 

Either way...I love you and you are a wonderful Mom and Wife!  I care...

I was diagnosed until 7-8 mo PP. I didn't start to notice anything until about 6mo. Up until then I felt "ok"...definitely manageable. It took a lot longer for me to say "ok, this isn't normal."

Just wanted to update you that it definitely is ppd for me.  I'm on zoloft now and it's made a HUGE difference.

Hope you're feeling better.  ::hugs::
