Prenatal Depression

Samantha

I was recently diagnosed with “severe antenatal unipolar major depression” and had to stay in the hospital at the psych unit for about 4 days. They wanted to put me on a medication called “sertraline” but after a few days of debating I decided not to because of the risk factors that would effect the baby. I am going to try out-patient therapy twice a week for about 6-8 weeks to see if it has any effect and if it doesn’t then my psychologist will decide to put me on that medication. Anybody else having major depression or feeling disconnected during pregnancy??? I want to feel happy and connected but I just don’t feel anything and it all becomes so overwhelming sometimes!
