Ante Natal Depression
Brief therapy to reduce and control depression prior to labour is important, especially
for those that were depressed before becoming pregnant (see footnote). True ante
natal depression is when the woman becomes depressed during pregnancy. The causes
are wide and varied, unplanned pregnancy, unstable relationship, job insecurity,
less income, hopelessness, helplessness, feeling inadequate, just to name a few.
Those who have been taking anti-depressant medication, and due to pregnancy can no
longer take medication, may then develop further bouts, or increase of depression.
By providing better coping skills and mechanisms, allows the woman to be more in
control of the situation and life in general. Therapy at this stage significantly
reduces the chances of post natal or post partum depression. That is why the focus
on ante natal depression is so important.
Utilising three sessions of hypnosis for childbirth further increases their coping
skills.
Reporting in the American Journal of Psychiatry 2002, the researchers found that
exposure to SSRIs during pregnancy was associated with a twofold increase in premature
delivery and consequent lower birth weight. Furthermore, SSRI exposure during the
last three months of pregnancy was associated with lower scores on physical health
of a newborn infant.
