The mother often feels helpless and guilty. She is exhausted, unhappy, often cries and finds herself alone or isolates herself. She can also think that she is in a dead end situation

It is essential to early diagnose the depression which can also damage the baby’s brain and behavior. Connection between mother and infant is really important, at an early stage, and has been confirmed by the development of Neurosciences.
