I was not sure where exactly to put this at, so I put it here. My sister in law has had difficulty with depression even before getting pregnant, and now, four weeks after delivering my gorgeous niece, I believe she's having trouble with postpartum depression. Has anyone had this before? She's talked to her doctor a few times since the delivery, and he has not even discussed it with her, even though he knew she had trouble with it before the pregnancy. Any suggestions?

If her doctor won't discuss it with her she should ask for a referral to a psychologist. Postpartum is a bigger issue these days and more is known about it than ever. There is no need for her to deal with it when they can help her be free to enjoy the new family addition instead.

I was depressed for a little while, my hubby was gone most of the times and I was left with this screaming baby who wanted me to be there all the time. I was realy bad for me at that time.
