A change in mood during the postpartum period or after the baby is born is otherwise known as the “baby blues”. During this period, the mother starts having feelings of fatigue, unhappiness, and worry. Generally, this is a normal occurrence with about 70 percent of all new mothers. However, according to the American Psychiatric Association, 9 to 16 percent of new mothers suffer from a more serious condition of the blues, called postpartum depression. This is a major type of depression that can quickly escalate and become much worse when ignored. Thankfully, new mothers suffering from postpartum depression can turn to a therapist for professional help.
