Yes SFs,
Post-partum depression can be the pits. It's interesting because it is due to the SHARP decline in hormones upon childbirth as well as the feeling of being overwhelmed after the birth of a child. I am not sure if there is any post-partum therapy available (I'm sure there is), but most women eventually "snap" out of it with support of family anf friends and (hello) the husband/father. There are the occasional women who end up harming their children or themselves and/or neglecting them to extreme measures.
I agree with AKA2D '91 that this woman most likely had some other psychological problems because I've NEVER heard of a woman committing fraud and trying to "come up" on some quick cash due to post-partum depression.
But let me look at the web address before I jump to conclusions.
My prayers still go out.
PEACE
