The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers this list of reasons for why postpartum depression affects some new mothers:
- New moms can suffer from lack of sleep after the baby's birth, which can lead to fatigue, stress and depression.
- New moms can feel overwhelmed by all of the new things to do, and by other changes in their lives. They may even feel unsure of their parenting skills.
- New moms may set unrealistic expectations for themselves.
- New moms have less time for themselves, with their partners, and less time to do what they want.
