When I heard this last night, I was stunned, upset, and mortified. I was on the verge of tears to think that a mother can do that to a child. The reports stated that it was because of post partem depression, which follows childbirth for some mothers.
Does anyone (e.g. Psychology or medical professionals/majors) know the real danger that depression causes? Why is this form of depression just getting recognized? Why isn't someone doing more to educate mothers about this possibility and ways to work toward a cure?
