Postpartum depression and motherhood.

[Renita]

I often hear other women say that after they gave birth, there would be times where they could not stand to look or be near their child. Most say this is caused by postpartum depression and I was wondering if it could truly be that, or if postpartum depression is just a modern issue? I do not want to seem rude to mothers who do go through that but would like to know so I could be prepared in the future.
