Thank you Tamarama and Novenachama! For all the people (most likely men) who have made all the stupid comments about how it's her selfishness...you have NO idea what you are talking about. Postpartum depression is very real and serious. It doesn't just happen in Japan, it happens everywhere and to normal people. I can see it happening to the people who push themselves too much and do not ask for the help they so desperately need. You have no idea what months of hardly any sleep, constant crying and no time for yourself (to even just calm yourself down) can do to someone's mental health. If you don't get the help you need, you end up damaging yourself and if you can't take care of yourself...there is no way you can take care of anyone else. I feel horrible for the baby and the mother. It's just very sad and unfortunate she could not receive the help she so desperately needed.
