ok moms I need your opinion with something. so I have recently went to my doctor for postpartum depression and they want me to talk to a psychologist for it, but my aunt knows a natural more spiritual way for me to battle it. if this was your choice, which would you choose to do?
psychiatrist. I've tried Christian counseling and I've tried meds. the meds helped
Psychiatrist , I don't think a spiritual way can fix chemical imbalances
perhaps a combination. it could be an imbalance along with other factors. lack of support, stress, not having the tools to deal with the weight of parenthood. I would try counseling first just to find the root of the problem. I know its hard to admit there is a problem. I went untreated for a full year and found medication and counseling helped me. try local support groups. they can usually be found at churches. or mommy and me classes. I know it sounds silly but the best first step i have found is realizing you are not alone in this.
