Mood Swings and Depression

Why am I depressed when I should be on top of the world

Mood swings are common in the first trimester. Close to 10% of the women face mild to moderate depression. The lows can be consistent or frequent. Common symptoms include sleep disturbances, changed eating patterns, fatigue, loss of interest in daily activities and exaggerated mood swings - symptoms that shouldn't last for more than two weeks.  The trick is to follow a healthy diet and exercise plan and cut down on caffeine, sugar and chocolates, as these are substances that result in a false high in blood sugar levels.

  • Socioeconomic stress
