Yes I do agree that a mother experiencing post partum depression should go and consult a doctor or physician for counseling and medication. Talking to a doctor about the symptoms and deciding on what type of treatment is the right thing to do. Counseling and support/help are considered an initial-line cure for light to severe post partum depression. Mothers with light PPD are likely to gain from counseling alone. Those with moderate to severe PPD are encouraged to mix counseling with antidepressant drug and hormone treatment.
