Postpartum Depression, after a miscarriage?

Is depression after a miscarriage considered post partum depression, or is there a separate term for it?

Mostly Postpartum Depression is after you have a child, it affects 10-28% of new mothers, it can begin days, weeks, or even months after delivery. This is what these two sties say about Postpartum, but I did read a site that this lady had Postpartum months after she lost her child, so really I don’t know. There is depression after a lost of a child, I just don’t know if there is a name for it really beside depression.

Here are the two links I was talking about if you would want to read them.

Medical Encyclopedia – Post-partum depression
PostPartum Depression & Anxiety

I do think anyone who has lost a child should talk to someone, and if they start to get depressed then they really need to talk to someone and maybe get some pills to take if they need them. It isn’t easy loosing a child and you shouldn’t deal with it on your own. Hope this helps. Take Care!
