Frequently Asked Questions — Postpartum Depression Treatment in Texas

Can I be treated for postpartum depression while breastfeeding?

Yes. Several medications have strong safety data for use during breastfeeding. Your provider will discuss the options, benefits, and considerations so you can choose a plan you feel comfortable with.

How is postpartum depression different from the baby blues?

The baby blues are mild and typically resolve within two weeks. Postpartum depression is more intense and persistent, interfering with daily functioning and bonding. If symptoms last beyond two weeks or feel severe, an evaluation is important.
