Hallow Dear,
The incidence in past is bothering your mind. You have very rightly said the you need to talk to someone. Please seek for an assistance of a counsellor.
Of course you should not right off other organic causes which may lead to such conditions, particularly with the history of
post-partum depression. This condition is very commonly observed in anemic patients.
Anaemia increases the psychological instability. So please get your blood checked for anaemia. Iron with proteins will help you in this condition.
The other condition you should rule out is
Thyroid dysfunction. Any type of Thyroid dysfunction is known to cause mood changes. Hypothyroid condition is more common during
pregnancy. It may also affect the health of the baby and outcome of the delivery. Miscarriages due to hypothyroid state are quite common. So please get your Thyroid function test - T3, T4 and
TSH - performed on your blood. Depending upon the results, you may need medication.
Please do not ignore the problem; report to your Obstetrician, preferably with the blood reports I have advised you.
I hope this helps you today.
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
