Post-Partum Depression
Dear mama, your mental health is just as important as your baby’s physical health.
If you are suffering through brain fog, fatigue, overwhelm, and anxiety during this first year of your baby's childhood, it’s possible to turn things around and get back to a happy, healthy, peaceful place.
This is your sign that it’s okay to ask for help and look for ways to break free from these struggles.
Check out these post-partum depression symptoms and solutions below - then let us know if you’d like to connect to talk about ways we can help you get back on your feet!
Antidepressant medication has been helpful, and even life-saving, in many cases, but has not always been an easy or quick solution during the post-partum period.
Zurzuvae(TM) (zuranolone) is a brand-new medication which specifically treats post-partum depression. The entire course of medication takes only 14 days and many mothers who have taken it have felt relief in as little as 3 days; many have also reported that it has provided significant and lasting relief from PPD symptoms*.
Because this medication works differently than others, it is very possible that it may be the only treatment you’ll need to be back on your way to a fully-functioning family life. If a longer-lasting medication is needed to treat ongoing depression, this can be used to kickstart the healing journey, so you lose as few of these precious days as possible to the heavy overwhelm of post-partum depression.
Our team at Excel Psychiatric Associates in Huntersville, North Carolina is family-run, family-friendly (you can even bring your kids to your appointments!) private practice and is built on the premise of treating mental health within the context of your entire health history and unique life situations.
We would love to connect with you and help you through this difficult time of life that may have caught you by surprise. If you’d like to learn more about Zurzuvae(TM) (zuranolone) or find out if therapy or other treatment plans would be helpful, we are ready and waiting to help.

“This is a very different approach to treating clinical depression,” … “For many patients, they may only need a short, acute treatment course followed by close monitoring for any return of depressive symptoms rather than taking an antidepressant chronically for many months or years,” says Dr. Deligiannidis. … In fact, people who took Zuranolone had significantly reduced symptoms after just three days, a steady improvement in symptoms throughout treatment, and results that persisted for 30 days after they finished treatment, per the press release.”https://www.everydayhealth.com/depression/fda-approves-zuranolone-for-postpartum-depression/* “... In this study, women with PPD receiving Zuranolone experienced improvements in both depression and anxiety symptoms, with higher rates of improvement and remission of symptoms seen at days 3, 15, and 45 compared to women receiving placebo. Beneficial effects of Zuranolone on insomnia and patient-reported functional health and well-being were also observed. … This study demonstrates that rapid improvements in depression, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms may be achieved without the use of other medications.”https://womensmentalhealth.org/posts/zuranolone-improves-anxiety-insomnia-and-postpartum-depression/
