Postpartum

Postpartum depression (PPD) happens when a new mom gets hit with really intense feelings of sadness, anxiety, and exhaustion after having a baby. It’s way more than merely feeling down or overwhelmed, which many new parents go through. That initial overwhelm typically fades in a couple of weeks.

With postpartum depression, the feelings are heavier or more extreme, and they stick around much longer. We’re talking about stuff like feeling really sad or hopeless, losing interest in things you used to enjoy, or feeling disconnected from your baby. Anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and intense anger are also symptoms to watch out for. It can get to the point where it’s hard to do everyday things, like looking after yourself or the baby.

Postpartum & TMS

In PPD, parts of the brain linked to mood and emotional regulation might be underactive. TMS uses non-invasive magnetic pulses to stimulate those specific brain areas. Think of it like a reset button, helping the brain regain normal activity.

For new moms dealing with PPD, this is a game-changer, especially if they’re worried about taking medications, which is a common concern with breastfeeding. TMS doesn’t have the systemic side effects that antidepressants have.
