My daughter was born 8 weeks ago. I had been under the care of a special midwife team at my hospital because I suffer with health anxiety and it was really bad after my son 5 years ago. Thankfully I’ve done a lot of therapy work since he was born and during this pregnancy and I am in a great place and postpartum has been incredible compared to before.
I have been discharged and the letter to my GP states “this woman has a history of anxiety and depression and suffered with post natal depression after her first child”. I’m just curious - is this right? To my knowledge I’ve never suffered from depression nor PND and have never sought help for depression. Is it normal that they lump it together with anxiety? I have my 8 week check up with the GP today and not sure whether to clarify or just let it go.
