Ways to overcome...: Postpartum anxiety and depression can be overcome! It is not due to breast feeding, so don't rely on stopping breast-feeding to help. Things that are shown to help include creating a happier lifestyle (don't try to be supermom; you can still be a great mom by being an ordinary loving mom); eat lots of fruits, vegetables, some nuts, beans, and whole grains; practice breathing and get sun exposure.
