Article Excerpts about Postpartum depression
The term postpartum depression describes the range of physical, emotional,
and behavioral changes that many new mothers experience following the delivery
of their babies. Symptoms of this condition can range from mild to severe. A new

from postpartum depression, a much more serious condition. In some cases, new
mothers may have postpartum psychosis, a relatively rare but severe and
incapacitating illness. (Source: excerpt from Postpartum Depression Fact Sheet: NWHIC)
