When I had my youngest child, I suffered from this illness right after I had her. I had a lot of crying spells, and sadness. It was not an easy time for me. I had two toddlers, in addition to my newborn child. I am not sure why I got the post-partum depression with the youngest baby, but not so much with the other two. That was a long, long time ago, but I still remember how I suffered with it.
