It is all about being well. How you manage to bring your inner feeling of wellness is the key to a pleasant life. Some negative factors pull you back leaving you dull and depressed. Irrespective of time and position, depression can conquer you and destabilize your mind and mood.

Depression during and after pregnancy is not uncommon nowadays. As per recent studies, postnatal depression among women is on the rise in Kerala.

The reasons for prenatal depression can vary from anxiety to social and/or emotional issues. In many cases, women are reluctant to talk to the doctor about mood changes in pregnancy due to the stigma associated with depression. It is highly recommended to be open. Talking always resolves.
