The full spectrum.: Some women may have baby blues. Others may have serious symptoms which impact on sleep, appetite, energy level and the ability to bond with their new baby. The most worrisome is psychotic depression in which a woman can lose touch with reality. In serious cases a woman might even have thoughts of harming herself or her newborn. If you are depressed, please seek medical help.
