Could Britney's Bizzare Behavior be Postpartum Depression Related?

Well, as I'm sure most of you have heard all over the news, Britney has had some questionable behavior ever since her and "FedEx" broke up; from her partying, to her being in and out of rehab, to shaving her head and now this latest stunt. Tonight on the TV I saw Britney Spears beating the heck out of a car with some big object, the look on her face made her look like a madman! Apparently the car she was beating on was parked outside of where "FedEx" is staying, but they didn't say who owned the vehicle. It wasn't all that long ago that she gave birth to her little boy (would it be 5 months yet?), so I'm wondering if her behavior could be at all related to postpartum depression ? Have any of you ever suffered from this or personally known someone who has? How long does it usually last? I've heard that some cases are pretty severe..

What she was doing was poking large umberella through the open window of a car at some media type person. It could very well be Postpartum Depression but she was nutty even before having this baby.

True that she was acting weird before baby Jayden came along but it seems to have gotten worse.

It very well could be. From what I read, she has been checked for postpartum and was on medication for depression. She seems to be doing better now. Or so we hear. Who really knows though...

Yes I would think it has something tto do with it, since she had the babies so close together. Part of it was the way her husband acted while she was pregnant, part of it is who she is hanging out with(Paris) and part of it probably is postpartum depression.

I'd never thought about that aspect of it, it could be I suppose more likely to do with the pressure of her career though surely? She was very young when she started out and has had little personal privacy since. It seems like she's just giving people something to talk about now to me.
