Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
You have symptoms of restlessness, disturbed sleep, crying at small issues. These are occuring after your delivery.

The most probable reason would be that you are having post partum depression.

I suggest you to visit a psychiatrist for evaluation of this problem. You would require anti-depressants like sertraline (drug of choice in post partum depression).

Please take care to keep a difference of atleast one hour in takibg your medicines and breast-feedibg your baby.

Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
