I just become a mother of baby boy about 2 months ago, but I am always so much worried about him all the time. Most of the for no reason I take so much stress. What should I do?

Question

Hi lybrate-user. Child birth is one of the most life changing event in the life of people especially females. During pregnancy our hormones increase but after postpartum there is drastic change in the levels of hormones, which may cause transient mood changes (post partum blues) but in many females it may lead to depression. You might have depression or anxiety disorder. Need evaluation. Take a psychiatric consultation online/ offline.
