I had it with all of my children (4). I took meds but not after all of them. Dr. told me that studies have shown breastfeeding to take the blow out of postpartum and it worked for me. I had really great support from family after the first diagnosis(2 child) so I was very blessed.
It is really horrible. You cry ALL THE TIME. You might not even know you have it either. I knew I had it with my first one because the crying didn't go away. You do get a little baby blues after because of the hormonal drop in the body. It is more common than people think. I had a co-worker who got psychosis. It was really bad. She didn't know who she was and really tried to hurt the baby. She is fine now but it took about a year to get her where she could be left alone with the baby.
No one should mess around with it. Damn Tom Cruise. I think he did a lot of damage with his assinine comments.
