Answers:

I had severe postpartum depression after my now 5 year old daughter was born. It lasted for a very long time, 3 years... and then led to clinical depression.

I was on medication, I went to therapy. I did overcome it, finally. It took a lot of work, but thankfully I made it through. I was hospitalized at one point.

When you are asking about "pre-natal" depression... do you mean depression while pregnant or before coming pregnant? Depression during the pgcy is called antepartum depression... that can last during the entire pregnancy.
