perinatal mood disorders

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I joined this group to glean your knowledge on everything perinatal.

My particular area of interest is in using clinical nutrition to

alleviate perinatal mood disorders.

 

Does anyone have info on how ayurvedic principles can help to alleviate

mood symptoms?

 

Thanks so much,

Cheryl Jazzar

Hi Cheryl -

 

Thanks for posting your concerns. We have discussed this quite a bit

and would be happy to carry the discussion forward. Kindly look

through our files on the website page first, under Ayurveda for After

the Birth where you will find a number of articles and a folder

specific to perinatal mood disorders. Also in the archives, if you

search discussions under ppd, depression, mood disorders, etc, I

believe you will find more explanation as we responded to questions.

THen, let's have at it! AYurvedic principles for mood imbalances

serve greatly, beginning with modified vata pacification routines and

agni support. Do you have any familiarity with Ayurvedic lingo yet?

 

ALso, I'm not sure what you mean by clinical nutrition. This means

you are a registered dietitian? THe food piece is a very big one in

supporting reversal, preventing, or creating mood imbalances. In the

files you will find documents be sure to read including a " new "

assessment " list which is in itself very revealing of the key issues

to look at dietarily, and a foods by weeks postpartum piece also.

 

If you only receive our mail in your inbox, you will need to go to the

page www.perinatalayurveda and look to

the left, you will see a button called files. From the webpage you

can also find a little search box where you can put in y our key words.

 

Let me know what you think?

Blessings,

Ysha

Dear Ysha,

 

Thank you so much for your response. I am excited to read this seeming

wealth of knowledge.

 

I am an advocate for mothers experiencing mood changes. In the past, I have

worked with Postpartum Support of Oklahoma and now am in the process of

forming a perinatal support network in Georgia. I am a member of Postpartum

Support International (www.postpartum.net).

 

I am also writing a new blog on so-called 'alternative' treatment methods

for PPMDs. I am not well versed in ayurveda, only a rough understanding.

So, I will probably gain a lot of understanding by reading. Do you have a

suggestion of something I can review before reading the posts

to help in my understanding of the terminology used within your group?

 

Thanks again, Ysha.
