"Hi! I'm Brenda F. Dixon, the owner of Life Help Now in Nashville, Tennessee. We're here with Expert Village. Another cause I want to talk about today of depression is postpartum depression. Twice as many women have depression than men. After a woman gives birth to a baby, and it's not every baby that they give birth to, but after they give birth to a baby, they have this depression that begins to come in on them. It creates sadness, anxiety, irritability, and frustration. It just pushes them down. This kind of postpartum anxiety. In my practice, I actually have people come to be after they give birth to their babies. We work on the techniques to get out of that depression. Then they get relieved of their depression. It's really a good feeling for them. Some people call it baby blues, but it does affect new mothers and it certainly is serious. Very serious to have to take care of a baby and they're still with this depressed feeling."
