If you think you are experiencing cesarean depression, talk to someone about it, whether friends, family, or especially other women who have had cesareans. Or contact a therapist who is both understanding of, and experienced with, women who have had cesarean depression. You'll avoid the side effects of keeping your feelings bottled up, and you'll know that you're not alone. They'll provide you with information and emotional support. They can also give you an opportunity to help others, which may help you resolve your own cesarean experience.
Some women receive emotional relief after just one meeting.
