The postpartum stage is a difficult time for all mothers. New moms must deal with their recovering bodies as well as a new baby that needs constant attention. It is normal to have feelings of sadness and being overwhelmed. But postpartum depression is something different, which usually requires proper diagnosis and treatment.
