I think just a year. if its longer than that than its not due to the hormones of the birth so its another depression.

It's funny that you think people are playing with you. It can start immediately and can last until they move out of the house. Postpartum depression comes from the fact that you have and have to care for a child, there's no time limit on how long you'll suffer from depression after the fact.

one year. that is what a public health nurse called and told me, she called to check up on how i was doing when my baby was six weeks and to ask me about twenty questions assessing if i had post partum depression,these were questions like "do you feel overwhelmed part of the time some of the time none of the time" and "Do you feel angry part of the time some of the time none of the time" and "do you cry every day some of the time part of the time none of the time" etc and at the end of the converstation she told me that post partum depression can occur anytime within the next year..but sometimes it is even more prolonged...but one year must be the aveage.

Postpardum deppression "baby blues" can last from two weeks up to a year. & your healthcare provider can determine whether you have PPD.
Some ways to help you cope with PPD:
-Make sure your needs are met. Sleep! Eat! & don't feel guilty about the way you feel! Many women go through PPD.
-Ask for support
-Share you feelings
-Take care of your outside. Excersize, dress up, put make-up on, anything to help you feel better.
-Sleep more when your baby sleeps
-Go outside. Take your baby for a walk and get some fresh air.

It can last up to a year. Anything beyond 2-3 weeks, and you should see your doctor.

Most commonly up to a year, but perhaps into the second and third years of your child's life.
