April Masini's advice:
Dear Wedding Wind Down:
Post-partem, the blues women get after having a baby, are the most famous, and legitimized kind of depression because there is a physical event associated with them, so it's easy to rationalize. But many events, like weddings, funerals, and divorce can leave "post" blues after the event the same way having a baby can, and they are harder to diagnose. Even soldiers suffer post-traumatic-stress, which is tragic, but not unrelated. It took a long time for the professional world to recognize post-traumatic stress syndrome in soldiers. It even took a long time for the medical world to recognize post-partem depression as a condition that is temporary and treatable. Any event that is stressful has the potential to trigger a post-event depression. Even an event as joyous as a wedding. But don't run to a divorce attorney -- that would be the wrong direction! In fact, don't run at all. Just because you got married and now feel down in the dumps, probably has nothing to do with your choice of mate. It has more to do with the stress you underwent in the year or more it took to plan and execute your wedding. So relax. He or she is still Mr. or Ms. Right. You just need some advice from me to enjoy your new partner and your new life. So, read on.
