What is Postpartum Depression?

Postpartum depression happens after a woman gives birth. It doesn't affect all women. Some feel the baby blues after childbirth when they are healing and maybe overwhelmed by caring for an infant.

This usually passes fairly soon. A doctor can help you cope with this.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is classified as having similar symptoms to those of the baby blues, but they can begin any time within the first year and last indefinitely if not treated. They usually set in after the first few weeks, not immediately, like baby blues, although they can start right away. And they often are severe enough that they hinder the way a mom is able to function.

Of course, this means you need to see your doctor. Some women also get "scary thoughts" in which they think they might harm the baby or themselves - accidentally or on purpose. Even though they know for certain that these thoughts are illogical and they would never act on them, they can be so terrifying that women are afraid to even mention them.

In severe cases, women may be so frightened that they avoid handling their babies.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
