One of my friends suffered post natal depression after her baby girl was born in 2002. It lasted for around 4 months which made her life very challenging. Health Visitors hand over from Midwife Care. They do a paper assessment to see if the new mother is suffering from post natal depression. If she is then they give her lots of support.
