"I was utterly
defenseless when it happened to me.
For a month it was
utter hell.
I felt as if I was
going insane."

- It is estimated that eight out
of ten mothers go through a period of `post-baby blues' and that
one in ten suffer from a more serious form of postnatal depression.
- It is never easy for the mother
or for her family and friends to understand exactly what is happening,
and to distinguish between the relatively mild `blues' and the
more severe cases of depression.
