Most new parents feel tearful and overwhelmed around day 3 to 5 after the birth.

This is known as the baby blues and caused by the hormonal crash after delivery.

Now this can be a difficult time but it usually passes within the first two weeks.

Postnatal depression is different because it doesnโ€™t pass.

It starts any time in the first year and it stays or gets worse. You might feel persistently low, lose interest in things you used to care about, struggle to sleep even when the baby sleeps, or feel like you are failing when everyone around you seems to be managing.

It affects around 1 in 10 mothers. It affects fathers too, though it often looks more like irritability, withdrawal, or numbness than sadness.

Postnatal depression is treatable through talking therapies and sometimes medication.

Your GP can refer you, or you can self-refer to NHS Talking Therapies directly without needing an appointment.

If youโ€™re experiencing confusion, hallucinations, or extreme mood changes that feel out of character, call 999 or go to A&E.

For more clinical guidance on this topic, the Anya app is available 24/7 and there to support parents.

New figures released for show fewer people than ever are smoking in Wigan Borough. ๐Ÿšญ

The number of adults who smoke to***co has fallen below 29,000 to just 10.43 per cent of the adult population.

Thatโ€™s now within touching distance of the national average (10.26 per cent) โ€“ marking significant progress for the borough in recent years.

Councillor Keith Cunliffe, Wigan Councilโ€™s deputy leader and cabinet portfolio holder for adult social care and health, said: โ€œThe latest figures are really encouraging and itโ€™s wonderful to know the hard work of our Smoke Free Partnership is making a real difference in our communities.โ€

The progress has been achieved thanks to a combination of local and national legislation, enforcement, and support services like our Be Well Wigan Stop Smoking Service.

More than 3,000 adults have started their smoke-free journey with Be Well over the last three years โ€“ with free personalised support and ni****ne substitutes to help them quit. Meanwhile, a digital stop smoking assistant โ€˜Quit Coachโ€™ offers guidance and encouragement through WhatsApp.

Smokers in Wigan Borough can now also get free access to the highly successful Allen Carr's Easyway To Stop Smoking method, which has already helped an estimated 50 million people with stopping smoking, va**ng and other addictions over the past 40 years.

Coun Cunliffe added: โ€œEverybody is different and the more choice we can offer smokers who want to quit the better as we continue our efforts to improve the health of our communities and reduce the burden on the NHS.โ€
