I've been struggling with postpartum depression since I had my little over 6 months ago.

I haven't been to the doctor. I thought it'd fix itself by now.

At my babies 6 month check up our pediatrician said at this point it's not going to get better on it's own and I need to go to the doctor.

I guess I'm asking if they would actually do anything about it. Are they just going to give me pills and hope for the best? I'm still breastfeeding. Can I even take antidepressants? Has anybody been to the doctor for postpartum depression? What can I expect if I make the appointment?
