ABOUT POSTNATAL DEPRESSION
How long PND can last varies significantly from one woman to another. In some women, PND will last only a few months, and may not require professional help. For most women with PND, treatment will be required; without it, their condition may well deteriorate. Early treatment is vital, as it can significantly reduce the length of time a woman and her family suffers the effects of PND. With treatment, for most women, PND will last between three months and two years; but even with treatment, in some severe and complex cases, PND can last for more than two years.
