Hi,I was pregnant and after 1 month of getting pregnant I developed extreme nausea,morning sickness & first trimester problems.I also had bleeding once ,went to ER & started worrying about my baby.Then I started having obcessive & negative thoughts about the baby.Then suddenly one day ,I developed obcession with saliva.It went to the extent that it started giving me trmendous anxiety & panick attacks & I believed that I was definitely getting crazy because of my irrationale anxiety.My doctor put me on Zoloft.But on the 1st day of taking Zoloft,I had suicidal thoughts,so I went to see my OBG.I passed out there & I was sent to ER.I chose to stay at the ward & came home next day.After that I went to stay with my family & was ok until my baby was born.After my baby was born,I was ok until my in laws were here,as soon as they left I developed anxiety.This time for no reason at all.
I went back on Zoloft & have been on Zoloft stll.I feel perfectly normal & happy now.What is my diagnosis?

Post Partum Depression. If it continues for several months after the baby was born, the diagnosis may be changed to Major Depression.
Depressive Disorders typically include anxiety, OCD like symptoms are a form of anxiety.
I have been diagnosed with Major Depression and Dysthymic Disorder. Anxiety is a common symptom for me; sometimes I have symptoms like OCD.

First I'd like to say that you should get off of Zoloft. It has been proven to damage the kidneys and liver. I think if you really want to take medications that you can find something else that will not harm your body in such a way. It sounds to me like you had pre and post natal anxiety. This has been theorized about and is still not being accepted as of yet in the medical field as a mental disease. If you don't want to take medications and find a better way to help cope with your feelings find a support group. I have anxiety not due to child birth or anything like that but I've dealt with it all my life. I do not like to take medications because most of them do damage to your body while trying to help. Hope this helps you. Good luck.
