Have you had a good thyroid eval?
Postpartum thyroiditis is a leading cause of anxiety and depression in women after childbirth. It goes undiagnosed too often.
Often, women are hyper and anxious for the first few months and then crash after 3-6 months. THis is because they are hyperthyroid at first and then hypothyroid.
I urge you to check it out.
For more info, see last months regular "babble" archive and also the thyroid and depression folder at psycho-babbly-tips (link at top of regular babble page).
