What is neonatal cerebral depression
I gave birth just this june 13, 2018. The baby didnt respond so they had to do cpr. Eventually showed some sign of life. To make sure that the baby is in good state, the pedia had to bring the baby in icu for further observation. He was diagnosed with neonatal cerebral depression. What is neonatal cerebral depression??

It is a  condition that occurs when the newborn baby has difficulty in taking breath sooner after birth, which in turn leads to neurological problem. It has nothing to do with depression as such.
