After having a baby, many women expect to feel happy and excited, but for some, the experience is very different. Postpartum syndrome, also called postpartum depression, is a condition that can happen after childbirth and causes deep sadness, anxiety, tiredness, or even anger. Postpartum depression can last for weeks or even months and make it hard for a mother to care for herself or her baby. It can happen to any woman and it’s not a sign of weakness or failure.

This condition is believed to be linked to hormonal shifts, emotional stress, and physical exhaustion following childbirth. Risk factors include a history of depression, lack of support, sleep disruption, or complications during pregnancy or delivery. Diagnosis is usually made by a healthcare provider based on symptoms and medical history. Treatment may include therapy, support groups, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, medication. Early identification and proper care can help individuals recover and improve overall well-being.
