How would you bring up a concern of post partum depression with a doctor? Ive had a history of anxiety, depression. I was in therapy and on medication most of my childhood until i was 15 and came off everything. I still struggle time to time but i dont know how to bring it up to a doctor about my concern of it after birth without seeming like im asking for medication (i hate being medicated. Made me feel slow and gain tons of weight adding to my depression) im 22 now. But my husband is active duty and will only be home for 30 days after baby is born and i know it will be extremely hard for me.
