August 16, 2023 ⚊ 1 Min read ⚊ Views 42 ⚊ BLOG
Postpartum depression affects around one in seven women and can last longer than baby blues, affecting their ability to return to normal function. It affects the mother and her relationship with the infant, as maternal brain response and behavior are compromised. PPD is diagnosed when at least five depressive symptoms are present for at least two weeks. Untreated PPD can lead to emotional and behavioral issues in children, and mothers may feel less attractive, struggle with identity, or lose control over their lives.
