The AI answer we saw
Baby blues typically occur within the first 2–3 days after delivery and resolve on their own within 2 weeks. Symptoms include mood swings, tearfulness, irritability, and mild anxiety. Postpartum depression (PPD), however, is more intense and persistent — lasting beyond 2 weeks and significantly affecting daily functioning. PPD symptoms include persistent sadness, inability to bond with the baby, severe anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, and in some cases, thoughts of self-harm. If symptoms worsen after 2 weeks or interfere with caring for yourself or your baby, it's important to consult a mental health professional. Tools like the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) can help screen for PPD.
