What difference with Baby Blues Postpartum Depression Syndrome?
The difference lies both in frequency, intensity, and duration of ongoing symptoms above. In Postpartum Depression, you will feel the symptoms are more frequent, more intense, and longer.
How do I tell?
Actually it's easy. One way is to pay attention to the mother's sleep patterns. If when there is someone else look after the baby, the mother could sleep, then it is probable that the mother suffered only Blues Baby Syndrome (BBS). But if the mother is very difficult to fall asleep while the baby is maintained by someone else, then maybe the level of depression was included in the Postpartum Depression (PPD).
Some Symptoms of Postpartum Depression:
- Fast furious
- Confused
- Easy to panic
- Feeling hopeless
- Changes in eating and sleeping patterns
- There is a feeling of fear could hurt her baby
- There is a feeling of worry could not properly care for her baby

PPD can last up to 1 year after the birth of a baby ...
In cases of acute PPD, the mother could have committed suicide or hurt her own baby ...

- Changes in the mother's hormones
