Postpartum Depression: Do You Have These Warning Signs?

4. “You have thoughts of harming yourself or the baby”

A lot of “what ifs” go through your mind. What if I leave the baby here? What if I just end this? It may sound extreme, but not uncommon. In some Asian countries, new moms are not left alone at all to avoid any accidents. There have been news of mothers killing their babies without them realizing it. Don’t be that mother. Seek help. Tell loved ones. Consult your doctor.

5. “You can’t concentrate or focus”

Your mind is always racing. You can’t sit still. It is nearly impossible to concentrate on a task. Making decisions is a nightmare and you don’t know what to do anymore.
