Five misunderstandings about postpartum depression
Depressed mood may be postpartum depression, but it is not the criterion for postpartum depression. Many new moms and dads think that being depressed and irritable is suffering from postpartum depression. Not necessarily. To determine whether there are symptoms of postpartum depression, we must first correctly understand postpartum depression.

Baby Syndrome lasts about 4 weeks and heals spontaneously. But postpartum depression, like other diseases, is almost incurable without treatment.
2. Postpartum depression will occur at any time within 1 year after childbirth
If postpartum depression is not developed immediately after childbirth, then it will not be suffered again.
3) All new moms get tired
New moms often feel tired and overwhelmed. They may go through a mental process called "Baby Syndrome." Women with this syndrome will feel tired and have no energy. However, postpartum depression is a psychological disorder with stronger emotions and longer duration.
Moms with postpartum depression may not want to play with their baby. She will feel guilty about not being able to give her baby enough warmth and love.
