Features : Postpartum Depression: Early Detection, Support Crucial For Mothers

Recent social media posts suggesting that a local celebrity may be experiencing postpartum depression (PPD) following the birth of her first child have sparked widespread discussion about the condition online, indirectly creating more awareness of the disorder and the fact that its symptoms can go unnoticed by some mothers, particularly first-time mums. Speculation about the actress’ health emerged after she was seen appearing visibly stressed, with noticeable physical changes including weight loss, coupled with perceptions that she was struggling to balance her career commitments with her responsibilities as the mother of a one-year-old child. In her social media posts, she admitted she had to “sacrifice sleep”, staying up through the night to care for her baby before returning to the filming set the following morning.
