Analysis based on Evidence of Patient with Postpartum Depression

 

Research conducted by Sloimian and his colleagues in 2019 was to evaluate the outcomes

and symptoms of postpartum depression, which are in agreement with what I encounter working

in the obstetric department. The authors indicated that PPD arise after two to six weeks after

having a baby. This also agrees with the symptoms I illustrated earlier during the patient's

assessment. After conducting a systemic evaluation, the study found that a patient with

postpartum depression has suicidal thoughts, feels unworthy, loses interest in some activities, has

a bad temper, has deep thoughts, loses appetite, and has poor sleeping patterns. The symptoms

above are incoherent with the postpartum depression patients I encounter in the healthcare

setting. In addition, the study conducted by Stewart and Vigod in 2019 on pathophysiology,

treatment, and emerging therapeutics agrees with the signs and symptoms presented above. The

study has related the condition to reproductive hormones and recommended that a mother with

such a condition be treated appropriately, as it might affect the child's cognitive functioning.

The data provided in the study is reliable because the authors have cited the source of

information while indicating the original authors of the article cited. Through citation of the

article, which is peer reviewed and found on Google scholar sites, gives it credit.
