Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious mental health disorder that affects a significant proportion of women following childbirth. Characterized by persistent sadness, emotional numbness, anxiety, and difficulties in bonding with the infant, PPD can have long-lasting effects on both maternal and child well-being. This article explores the psychological, hormonal, and social contributors to postpartum depression, including sleep deprivation, lack of social support, and pre-existing mental health conditions. Despite its high prevalence, stigma and lack of awareness continue to hinder early diagnosis and treatment. Emphasizing the need for open conversation, accessible support systems, and early intervention, the article advocates for a more compassionate and informed approach to maternal mental health. Breaking the silence surrounding PPD is essential to protect the emotional health of mothers and promote positive developmental outcomes for children.
