  1. Hi everybody,
  2. My name is Magdalena Ramos and this is my signature assignment presentation.
  3. My subject is postpartum depression.
  4. So many women suffer from postpartum depression in the last
  5. few years there's been an increase due to COVID-19.
  6. It is thought that is due to the social distancing
  7. not being able to be out and about and not really
  8. having big
  9. gatherings due to the risk of
  10. contacting it.
  11. There are many other factors that
  12. to post partum depression such as ethnicity has away
  13. about making it harder on some woman over others
  14. and socio economic status. So it is from my research,
  15. it is shown that
  16. woman from a lower socioeconomic status usually do not seek aid
  17. word
  18. even if they noticed signs, they do not
  19. ask for help.
  20. My three main things I'm going to be focusing on is what is postpartum depression,
  21. what is being done and what can be done as well.
  22. If you see here,
  23. these are some signs to look for
  24. irritation, anxiety, sleeping problems, self isolation, sadness
  25. and lack of concentration. If you see at the
  26. point out that or the picture I was able to obtain from
  27. The Internet is this one in 7 women,
  28. they give birth suffer from postpartum depression.
  29. So that's
  30. quite a bit of women
  31. with the
  32. rate of
  33. how many births
  34. in a year
  35. there is
  36. and postpartum depression.
  37. It's like any form of depression.
  38. But it's more
  39. it's seen more with women who have just given
  40. birth or sometimes even prior to giving both,
  41. they start
  42. showing displaying some symptoms
  43. and it's a mood disorder
  44. and what is being done to aid postpartum depression.
  45. So they have a questionnaire set in place
  46. and then with that questionnaire there
  47. women are ranked to see where they fall under depression.
  48. So if you see at the bottom here the scores 0 to 1 is low depression symptoms
  49. and then it's through an answer
  50. And then 10-19 is moderate depression
  51. and 20-30 severe.
  52. So depending on what they answer on the questions
  53. they score and see where they fall under.
  54. So this is what is being done at the moment. However, it is not being given to all
  55. mothers that have just given birth.
  56. They tend to just see it,
  57. give it to those displaying symptoms or if there are high risk.
  58. Either if they have any family history of depression
  59. or if they had themselves depression in the past,
  60. that's usually who they target.
  61. So what can be contributed to further
  62. help those suffering from postpartum depression.
  63. So, if any
  64. one that you know of is suffering from it,
  65. these are seven signs to look for.
  66. However,
  67. what I believe should be done
  68. is that regardless of
  69. if a woman is at high risk for depression or not
  70. every woman that is pregnant and has delivered or will deliver a baby
  71. should be given the questionnaire. That way they see where they fall under,
  72. determine if they need any further help
  73. and it should be done.
  74. I
  75. Believe two months prior to giving birth
  76. at the time of giving birth,
  77. and then follow up a couple of months after just to see if there was any changes.
  78. And these are my references.
