Dr Nidhi Sharma Chauhan from Mumbai's Saifee Hospital noted that temporary baby blues typically resolve on their own, whereas postpartum depression is persistent and worsens over time.
Symptoms of postpartum depression include severe sadness, anxiety, and difficulty managing everyday personal hygiene alongside newborn care duties.
Medical experts emphasize that postpartum depression is treatable through therapy and is not the mother's fault, urging family support and medical consultation.
