While a new baby is a happy and
exciting event in a woman's life,
more than one in 10 women will
develop a serious condition called
postpartum depression (PPD).
Mothers with PPD feel intense
sadness, anxiety, fear, or despair.
These feelings may steadily worsen.
PPD often starts shortly after
childbirth, and often requires
treatment. The condition interferes
with a mother's ability to care for
herself and her child.
There are risk factors for
developing PPD, including personal
or family history of depression,

If you are a new mom, you can do
a self-check for PPD by answering a
few questions.

asleep or staying asleep? Do you feel
anxious?
• Do you cry for no apparent
reason? Do you feel angry with your
new baby, your partner or your other
children?
• Are you having difficulty
concentrating or making decisions?
Are you afraid you might hurt your
baby?
• Have you thought about hurting
