How to Diagnose Postpartum Depression
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and may perform a physical exam. Your doctor may ask you to undergo blood tests, to see if some undiagnosed physical problem (such as a thyroid condition) could be contributing to your symptoms. You may be referred to a mental health professional.
