Description

This disorder is similar to the major depressive disorder, but is caused by hormones. When women give birth, their body goes through a number of changes. These changes influence their mood. These women are likely to cry a lot periodically.

Normal

Giving birth is a very special event. It makes sense that a lot of emotions are triggered by the mother, as well as by the father and other family members and close friends. It is completely normal when people cry at such a moment.

Abnormal

The mood changes become abnormal, when they last for a number of weeks.
