Many women, after having a child, experience mountains of depression.
People who have not given birth cannot at all understand. Husbands and significant other's (SO) think they understand, but become quickly impatient when they feel you should be over it and back to catering to their needs. And why can't you stop being selfish and just be happy you have a baby to take care of for the rest of your life?
A lot of people take postpartum depression as a joke. It's a very serious thing and without proper support and sometimes, therapy, some women can become violent in their depression and act out to get someone to take notice. Many people don't realize that every woman goes through some form of postpartum depression and many actually go through it in varying degrees for most of their lives.
