Postpartum depression (PPD) is a complex mix of physical, emotional, and behavioral

changes that happen in some women after giving birth.

According to the DSM-5, a manual used to diagnose mental disorders, PPD is a form of
major depression that begins within 4 weeks after delivery.
Most new mothers experience the "baby blues" after delivery. About 1 out of every 10 of
these women will develop a more severe and longer-lasting depression after delivery.

psychosis.

during the year their child is born.) ⇒ phần này sẽ có 1 câu hỏi: in the presentation, you
