PTSD And Depression After Losing A Pregnancy Are Not The Same

Jun 15, 2017


There are very few things in life more traumatic than losing a pregnancy. For many women, this can cause a feeling of extreme depression and trauma. However, depression and PTSD are not quite the same things here, though they may be treated in similar ways.

Depression Is Common
When you lose a pregnancy, severe depression is a common reaction. There was a small child that passed away, one whom you will never know. This situation is very sad and it is important to grieve in a healthy and constructive way.
That said, it is not uncommon for women to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD after losing a pregnancy. Trauma is usually severe after this situation occurs.

Symptoms of PTSD
Depression and PTSD are not the same problems. While related, there are many symptoms that separate PTSD from depression. These symptoms include:
  • Nightmares and flashbacks to losing your child
  • Jumpiness or feelings of being "on edge"
  • Numbed emotional reactions
  • Difficulty sleeping and concentrating
  • Irritability and excessive anger
These symptoms can come and go at various times. For example, you may not have nightmares for an extended period of time. Then, they may come back with a fury.

Treatment Is Hard
Treating this problem can be very difficult because it often requires probing psychological treatments and various medications. However, it is an essential way for many to overcome this issue. Without proper care, PTSD after losing a child can last for years and consistently derail a person's life.

Get The Help You Need
Living life with PTSD can be difficult, especially just after losing a precious baby. If you are suffering from this problem and need help, please contact us ASAP. We can help you recover the life that PTSD has robbed.
