What Are the Risks of Depression and Anxiety During Pregnancy?
Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it can also be an emotionally stressful event for women. Many women experience anxiety and depression during pregnancy. Fortunately, there are treatment options.
Showing Care
If you or a loved one is suffering from depression or anxiety, it’s important to seek help. It’s not a sign of weakness. Instead, it shows that you care.
Consult with a Doctor
In some cases, taking a pharmacologic medicine, such as an antidepressant, can improve the symptoms. However, it is crucial to consult with your doctor before using any medication. You should never stop taking your mental health medicine without your doctor’s approval.
Reducing Anxiety
Other ways to reduce anxiety include talking to your provider and expressing your concerns. Asking for support from others can also help.
The primary goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. A personalized treatment plan can include medications, talk therapy, or both.
During Pregnancy
Depression during pregnancy is more likely to occur in the first and third trimesters. Women who have suffered from mental illnesses before are more likely to have depression during pregnancy.
Taking prenatal vitamins, exercising, and getting enough sleep are essential during pregnancy. Additionally, pregnant women should not take benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines are known to have teratogenic effects on the fetus during the first and third trimesters.
Studies
Studies on anxiety during pregnancy are limited. Several factors contribute to increased anxiety in pregnancy. These include biological and environmental factors.
Studies have shown that social and environmental factors may contribute to an individual’s risk of developing anxiety disorders. Biological factors such as hormones and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis may play a role in anxiety levels.
