C
Undetected postpartum depression may lead to serious disturbances in mother-infant bonding, breastfeeding effectiveness, and family functioning. In rare circumstances postpartum depression may result in psychosis, infanticide, or both. Postpartum depression is a true form of depression that requires interventions. It does not indicate inadequate maternal instincts or spousal abuse.
