Many new moms feel happy one minute and sad the next. If you feel better after a week or so, you probably just had the "baby blues." If it takes you longer to feel better, you may have postpartum depression.
Postpartum depression can make you feel restless, anxious, fatigued and worthless. Some new moms worry they will hurt themselves or their babies. Unlike the "baby blues," postpartum depression does not go away quickly. Very rarely, new moms develop something even more serious. They may stop eating, have trouble sleeping and become frantic or paranoid. Women with this condition usually need to be hospitalized.
Researchers think that changes in your hormone levels during and after pregnancy may lead to postpartum depression. If you think you have it, tell your health care provider. Medicine and talk therapy can help you get well.

Topic Statement: Wellness Incentives (e.g., bonuses for losing weight) are an effective tool for managing productivity including health care costs.Pro Argument: Wellness Incentives are an effective tool for improving employee health.Research about the outcomes of wellness programs (e.g., financial gains, health benefits) in workplaces has produced varying outcomes (Goetzel, Henke, Tabrizi, Pelletier, Loeppke, Ballarad et al., 2014). In their review of 30 years of studies on wellness programs, however, Goetzel et al. (2014) found that well-designed and executed programs produced positive health benefits and financial gains. For example, one study (LeCheminant & Merrill, 2012) found that healthy behaviors (e.g., frequency and volume of exercises, consumption of vegetables and fruit, increased requests for health coaching) improved and continued over time for those participating in wellness programs. Ott-Holand, Shepard, and Ryan (2017) found wellness programs were associated with higher performance and lower turnover behavior, suggesting healthier employees. Chapman’s (2012; see Goetzel et al., 2014) meta-analysis found 25% lower medical and absenteeism expenditures for wellness program participants versus non-participants. Thus, multifaceted, well-designed wellness programs are likely to increase the health of employees and have resulting positive outcomes.

You Decide: The Case of Suzanne
This case is presented in the voices of Suzanne and her mother, Sherry. Throughout the case, you will be asked to consider a number of issues and to arrive at various decisions, including diagnostic and treatment decisions. Appendix C reveals Suzanne’s probable diagnosis, the DSM-5 criteria, clinical information, and possible treatment directions.
Suzanne A Sign of Things to Come
I don’t know when I started doing it. I guess I’ve always hated school and I’ve always been really nervous about things. A lot of the time, even before college, I used to play with my hair a lot and pull on it; the more nervous I became, the tighter I pulled. But I didn’t think there was anything unusual about it. You know, every ...
I decided to dedicate my story to everyone; everyone who, like me, does not just suffer with bipolar disorder, and the trail of destruction it leaves behind in our own lives and the lives of those around us, but everyone who suffers with mental illness. I don't want any of you to feel as lonely as I have for most of my life. I'm also writing this for the family and friends that suffer with us; those who often carry on supporting us regardless.

1. I was in high school when my family noticed I was different, more extreme then others. I was a kid, I thought that was “normal.” They sent me to a psychiatrist, because that was the “normal” thing to do. Well, I guess I was glad the psychiatrist figured something out, but it was not what I wanted to hear.
2.
3. She told me I was “bipolar,” that my extreme moods were a disorder, but I was a teenager, we have moods.
4. What did she mean by “bipolar?” Was it something to be embarrassed by? How long would these moods last? Do I take pills for this? Can someone answer my questions?
5. This is where Google comes in handy. Dear Google, Bipolar Disorder?
6. Bipolar disorder is the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated energy levels, cognition, and mood with or without one or more depressive episodes.
7. In other words, I am really happy and then really sad. It sounds right, I guess.
14. I am Bipolar. I have uncontrollable moods. I will be happy for a week and those are my “good days.” Then, I will be sad, upset, and angry, those are my “bad days.”
15. Whenever I get asked why I cannotpromise to do things more than a weekout, I do not know what to say. The truth? The truth is I do not know ifI will be having a good or bad day.
16.
17. My good days are amazing. I go out and do things that I always wanted to do. I feel the sun on my skin, and the wind through my hair. I feel alive.
18.
19. My bad days are terrible. I stay in bed wandering why I have to be the one going through this. Why did I get the short end of the stick? Why do I feel so unbelievably depressed?
