What is postpartum depression?

According to Mayo Clinic, postpartum depression is not a character flaw or a weakness.

Sometimes it is called peripartum depression because it can start during pregnancy and continue after childbirth.

Most new mums experience postpartum "baby blues" after childbirth, which commonly include mood swings, crying spells, anxiety and difficulty sleeping.
