I am 35 years old. I have delivered a baby boy on 1 July 2017. I am feeling depression. Uneasy feeling. Loss interest of heaving food. Some time I feel short breath. I do not have any family tension. Everything is fine still why I am depressed. I am not getting why. Kindly help. Do I need some medical checkups. Do I have some protien deficiency. This is my second baby. I already have one daughter. She is 13 years old. I live in India.

This is not uncommon dear Lybrate user. This is only a temporary condition which will disappear in course of time on its own accord. During the period of pregnancy and delivery there is a lot of physiological changes and hormonal fluctuations in the body which may cause some kind of mood disorders in some women. Moreover the process of giving birth to a child itself is a painful event that can add stress, and nursing the new born is also a stressful state. All these factors may have caused you to undergo low mood. But again, this is only a temporary condition. Socialize more, spend quality time with your friends, parents, relatives etc and do something that you're interested, go for a brisk walk everyday, you will get to the normal track soon.
