yes, absolutely. If you are feeling down, speak to your doctor, there is no need to feel like this when there are so many methods of treatment these days. Don't suffer alone trying to put a brave face on it, it's hard work being a mum, and with all the hormones affected. It affects many women after childbirth. Try finding a support group or a mother and baby group as you can help and give you someone(s) who understands and is able to share experiences and lessen the feeling of being alone and feeling isolated.
