Hi, The symptoms you describe- persistent low mood, anxiety, intrusive negative thoughts about past events, emotional numbness, and reduced interest in caring for yourself despite caring for your baby- are concerning for a prolonged depressive episode, and may also fit within the spectrum of postpartum depression if these symptoms began after childbirth. The persistence for 5 months indicates that this is not just stress-related and needs active treatment. Many women experience similar symptoms due to hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, emotional overload, and unresolved past distress, but these are treatable with proper support.
Next Steps
1. Seek an in-person psychiatric evaluation as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis and discuss treatment options (medication + therapy). 2. Consider starting evidence-based treatments such as antidepressants (SSRIs) and structured therapy (CBT or supportive therapy), especially if functioning is affected. 3. Rule out medical contributors like thyroid imbalance, anemia, or vitamin deficiencies. 4. If you ever notice thoughts of self-harm, hopelessness, or inability to care for the baby, please seek immediate help through your nearest emergency service or a trusted family member.
