Postnatal Depletion vs Postpartum Depression @ This is an online event

Apr 16 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Postpartum distress is often treated as a single condition, yet science tells a more nuanced story. This presentation explores the biological differences between postnatal depletion and postpartum depression, highlighting how hormones, inflammation, stress, and brain changes shape recovery after birth—and why recognizing these differences leads to better care.

Objectives – Here’s what you’ll learn:

Differentiate postnatal depletion from postpartum depression using symptom pattern, time course, and biological pathways.
Explain the neurobiological changes of pregnancy and postpartum, including hormone withdrawal, HPA axis recalibration, neuroplasticity, and immune shifts.
Describe the role of inflammation and stress in the emergence of perinatal mood disorders and impaired maternal recovery.
