Summary
A 21-year-old G1P1 with an uncomplicated pregnancy and vaginal delivery presents to your obstetrical assessment unit one week postpartum with concerns regarding the care of her newborn. She informs the nurse of difficulty with breastfeeding, which triggers a sense of worthlessness. The patient also complains of sleeplessness, even when the baby is asleep, and thereby is constantly exhausted. She shares with the nurse that she is ‘worried all the time about everything’ and finds herself crying randomly throughout the day for no apparent reason. The patient complains of intense ‘mood swings,’ which have led to frequent argumentation with her partner.
