At the mildest end of the spectrum lies the well-known maternity blues. This con- dition, whicb typically begins in the third or fourth day af postpartum, may include symptams as tearfuiness, anxiety, imrtabili- ty, insamnia and poor concentration. Estimated ta affect some 50 ta 80 per cent of women, it usually resalves itself within twa weeks. In general, when symptams of the blues last beyond twa weeks and interfere witb daily functianing, the presence of a more seriaus disturbance sbould be investigated. Pastpartumn Depression is estimated ta affect 10 ta 15 per cent of postpartum women. Typically, these disorders begin within tbree ta six montbs of delivery, but may begin at any time up ta the end of the first year. These disorders may develop gradually fram the blues or may appear without any previaus symptoms. Symptams include tearfulness, bopeless- ness, sleep and appetite disturbances, phys- ical complaints, scary tboughts and an unusual degree of irritability. Witb early detection and apprapriate referral, postpartum mood disorders bave excellent autcomes. Ta reserve a seat for the seminar, caîl (905) 338-4379.
