10 Postpartum Depression Symptoms

Symptom #5: Loss of Appetite
Another problem associated with postpartum, and other forms of depression, is a lack of appetite. This can be a difficult problem because the associated nutritional deficiencies can cause further symptoms, which might worsen the depression.
If you’re not feeling up to eating three meals a day, try your best to plan for the food that you do eat to be very healthy and nutritious. Healthy people are able to get more nutrition in a single meal than others do in an entire day. Don’t spend too much time counting calories, just make sure that you get enough vitamins and minerals from whole foods and not just from supplements.
