I was thinking the same thing. Most women suffer from postpartum depression without violent incidents. When my friend suffered from it, she was never left alone not because of violence, but because she couldn't function and mother properly. She was very fortunate to have a network of support surrounding her including her husband, sister, and mother in law. She sought and received treatment successfully including taking antidepressants and Omega 3 fatty acid. Studies indicate that omega 3 fatty acids helped replenished the maternal DHA depletion that occurs during pregnancy. It worked for her.

I wonder of this woman had any sort of medical treatment or a network of friends and family to help her.
