who do I talk to?? (Long!)

in Postpartum Depression

I'm sure lots of women post on this board with questions about PPD and thinking they have it and everything... and yes, I'm going to go ahead and add myself on to that list. BUT I don't necessarily think I have PPD... it's more like anxiety. But to an extreme I have never experienced before. I know that anxiety can be a big part of PPD, but I really don't know what to think. 

I wanted to ask who you talked to when you had questions about PPD??? Did you call your OB and make an appt or someone else?? I know there is something wrong, but I have no clue who I'm supposed to turn to. 

Many TIA!!!

    I went to my OB first and then my regular doctor took over after that.  Definitely make that call.  Anxiety was my biggest symptom.

    You can start with your OB or your family doctor.  I eventually called the behavioral health phone number on the back of my insurance card so that I could talk to someone who specializes in mental health and talk to a therapist rather than just be on meds, which weren't helping me on their own.

    Good luck and be proud of yourself for recognizing that you need help.  ***hugs***
