Beyond the Baby Blues Quotes

“The differences between general depression and postpartum depression are, however, highlighted as such: 1.​Postpartum depression can be very abrupt. 2.​There is a newborn child who needs care, and so a woman and the people around her are concerned about caring for the child. 3.​Becoming a mother carries such significant meaning that when the experience does not go exactly the way that one expects it to go, it can be absolutely devastating.”
