Common Signs & Symptoms of Postpartum Depression

Long-lasting Baby Blues

It is not uncommon for women to experience baby blues after a few days of giving birth. The condition would even past one or two weeks in some cases. After that, you should have a better feeling. However, if it persists and lasts longer than usual, this might be a clear sign of postpartum depression. Make sure to tell your doctor when you still feel hopeless and sad weeks later. In some severe cases, the emotions would become so intense that would lead to many difficulties in your daily life. [4]
