Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Qualitative lab report postnatal depression. It needs to be at least 2500 words.

Others argue that some woman experience depression in the last episode of pregnancy and what is known as PND could be a prenatal depression caused by hormonal changes and psychological responses due to pregnancy. Qualitative lab report: Postnatal Depression Introduction Postnatal depression also called postpartum depression (PPD) is a clinical depression which normally affects women especially after childbirth. Many women often undergo a period of low mood after having a baby. Although there are a number of differences between postnatal depression and the normal ordinary depression, there are also a significant number of similarities. Generally the first episodes of postnatal clinical depression normally develop in the first few months after childbirth and the condition may also develop out of severe cases of child blues. Some of the symptoms of PND that are similar to those of the ordinary depression include mood swings and persistent feelings of miserable and tearful without any apparent reason (Beck, 2002, p.454). The condition is primarily common in mothers with a history of depression among their family members, those who have experienced stressful events during their pregnancy as well as mothers who have suffered previous episodes of depression. Postnatal depression is mainly as a result of the experiences of pregnancy, childbirth and the responsibilities that come with parenting an infant. Biological, psychological and behavioral symptoms of depression are a normal part of this period where lots of women are unable to perform what they did before either because of pregnancy, consequences of child-birth or because of the demands of caring for an infant. Symptoms of this condition include sadness, fatigue, a change in eating and sleeping patterns, reduced libido, nervousness and irritability (Murray, 2002, p.102). The etiology of postnatal depression is however not clearly understood therefore it is sometimes assumed that the depression is caused by a number of factors including lack of vitamins. Although the theories about postnatal depression vary, a number of some psychologists concur that PND vary from other depression just in so far that it occurs after birth. Others argue that some woman experience depression in the last episode of pregnancy and what is known as PND could be a prenatal depression caused by hormonal changes and psychological responses by being pregnant. The majority however believes that PND has a complex of causes and the origins are social circumstances and life history of each woman (Nicolson, 2001). The present qualitative study primarily involved the use of interviews to investigate individual’s behavior and attitudes during post-natal depression young women. One of the participants was a middle aged woman known as Sonya (name changed) who had previously experienced postnatal depression after having her first childbirth at the age of 37. The interviewee was provided with a number of questions regarding her background, experiences with postnatal depression as well as how she managed to cope with the disorder. It is hoped that face to face interviews using a combination of structured and unstructured questions will provide richness and depth to the collected information as compared to the other methods. Experimental Method Design Semi-structured interview was used to collect data towards experience of depression.
