Valerian root can be useful for many people, but some people do not like it. I have taken both passion flower and valerian root and, while I like them both, I prefer valerian root. Many people use yoga and exercise for anxiety relief, but not everyone has the physical capability to do these as intensely as needed. Valerian root’s smell is offensive to some, so one might take it fast to avoid smelling it too much. I would not call valerian root addictive, but I do have a valerian root habit. Sometimes taking a break from it is needed, but (overall) valerian root seems to work much better with my body than most other herbs. Like medications, a medical doctor should be consulted if a person has concerns about how one might react to a supplement.

Have you heard of of the following…

Post partum blues (baby blues) is a common occurrence. Mild and rapid mood swings including episodes of sadness, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, tearfulness and crying spells characterize post partum blues. Baby blues usually occurs right after delivery and for no longer than about two weeks. The symptoms generally do not cripple a new mother’s day to day activities.

Post partum blues are conservatively managed. Having someone else care for the baby at night to allow for adequate sleep, ensuring adequate family support, and giving encouragement and reassurance are often successful ways to manage post partum blues.

Watch out:
If post partum blues is not managed it can lead to:

Post-partum depression presents itself much like regular clinical depression. The only difference is that post-partum depression seems to be brought on by the trigger of childbirth. Symptoms may not start right after delivery, but will last much longer than two weeks. The symptoms will also be much more severe and may render the mother incapable of having good quality of life as a new mother.

I have been having anxiety attacks for years, and recently went to my OBGYN for my annual. I told her that I was thinking about getting pregnant, and I wanted to be able to take something for anxiety that I could take while pregnant. She prescribed Zoloft. Apparently this is not just used for depression, but for anxiety as well. Ask your doctor about it.

Some people swear by controlled breathing, in through the nose, out through the mouth. I never had much luck without medication and i have tried several times over the 16 years i have been on meds for panic attacks. I have taken some classes to try to control the attacks and they say to expose yourself to the symptoms when you are not having an attack so that when you do, it won’t be a big deal. For example, if you symptoms of panic attacks are shortness of breath, they recommend getting into a sauna and learning to be comfortable with that feeling of more labored breathing..etc
