Is it ppd?

Question

Hello everyone. I just wanna know if anyone has gone through this. My baby is 7 months. Recently I've been feeling on edge. Like my husband annoys me alot and I'm quick to snap. Is that ppd ? I am on 10 mg of lexapro. I dont really feel depressed. Just more irritated easily.

Answer

Depression can manifest as anger depending on the person.

Answer

It is hard to tell without more details, but that doesn’t sound severe enough to be ppd. If you are just more irritable, you might just be suffering from sleep deprivation and/or adjusting to your new life as a mom. PPD usually involves intense intrusive thoughts like “what if I hurt this baby,” “what if I should just leave because I’m not a good enough mother,” & more classic symptoms of depression.
