KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) saw a 47 per cent increase in patients with postnatal depression between April 2021 and March 2022, compared with the same period two years before.
SINGAPORE: After giving birth to her second daughter about a year ago, Ms Paula Iqueda found herself mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted.
Ms Iqueda was formally diagnosed with postnatal depression after a visit to her gynaecologist at KK Women's and Children's Hospital . However, even after her diagnosis, Ms Iqueda did not seek help. The postnatal period typically lasts for up to one year from the delivery of a child, said Dr Chua Tze-Ern, head of KKH Women's Mental Wellness Service at the Department of Psychological Medicine.
My Queen Prenatal & Postpartum Wellness Centre, which is located on Sentosa and offers hotel stays, has introduced what it calls "wellness workshops". Other symptoms include feeling guilty, even though there may not be reasons to, along with harbouring thoughts of self-harm or even suicide, she added.
