Hi ladies/gents.
I've been diagnosed with PND.
My lb is now 15 weeks and I've been suffering pretty much since birth. The last two weeks have been particularly worse to the point I've self harmed. I told my doctor and she sent me to the psychiatric nurse. They have now decided to send the perinatal pyschiatric nurse out to see me weekly. They also wanted me to stay in the mental health mother and baby unit but I decided to stay with family instead.
If they think I'm getting worse (or not getting any better) will they involve social work?
I'm already attending a mother and baby group, seeing my gp weekly, seeing my family nurse fortnightly and am on the waiting list for a local postnatal depression counselling service. And now will be seeing the psychiatric nurse.
Just to add - incase it matters - I'm 20.
Thanks for reading x
