Apparently this depression grips the new mother so intensely as to drive them to kill the ones they love. It's my understanding that the depression is said to derive from the sudden departure of the child from the mother; in other words, the act of giving birth.
My mom had 9 kids. Everyone knows someone who had 4 kids, 5 kids, maybe 10 or 12 kids.....so I'd like to ask some questions because i'm stumped.
Do you guys/gals think this is a legitimate disease?
Is this a new phenomenom, or something that is old, but newly diagnosed?
Have any of the mothers on this list ever experienced anything remotely close to these types of feelings?
This whole thing just has me completely flabbergasted....and I'm curious what other people think/know/feel about this.
