Postpartum Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Описание: Approximately 9% of women experience postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following childbirth. Most often, this is caused by a traumatic or overwhelming event occurring during delivery or postpartum. For some women, psychological symptoms commonly associated with a traumatic event, like fear and intrusive memories of the event, may resolve with time. If, however, your symptoms persist, you may be experiencing PTSD. Luckily, postpartum PTSD is treatable with professional help. Erika Kelley, PhD discusses how to identify postpartum PTSD, and when and how to seek help.
