Pregnancy and Depression

This is a good article about depression that affects women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.
Sometimes the signs are so subtle that women feel that their feelings are just related to hormonal changes due to pregnancy...this may or may not be true. In any case depression can be debilitating and can get worse if not treated. It does not always require medication.
Depression can be controlled through medications, diet, exercise and with therapy depending on the type of depression and the seriousness of it. The important thing is to recognize it and get good help.
