Hi everyone, I am here for my niece. I felt very happy that she gave birth to a baby boy two weeks back. But now, she is going through postnatal depression and I feel so sad for her.
Her baby is exceptionally cute and charming. A smile from a newborn would make everyone happy. But she is showing some symptoms of anxiety, crying episodes, and irritability. We thought she would change after some days but it is still continuing. I talked with her since she likes talking to me. We are best friends from our childhood and we know each other really well. So I don't want her to be in such a situation. While talking to her I didn't get the reason that is annoying her. I think postpartum depression would affect her health in future. She has different mood swings and doesn't take much care of her baby.
Has anyone been through this situation? I heard about postpartum depression counseling, medication and support groups here in Toronto. What are your thoughts on taking her to postpartum depression counselors? Welcoming kind replies. Thanks.
