She said: “My newborn daughter needs breast milk and I am very depressed. When I held my daughter, I thought of throwing her so that all the tension would be over. My husband told me no. I think the postpartum depression will go away in a few days. you will be fine after that.
Explaining her situation further, she said: “When I walked into the room, I cried a lot. I told her I wanted to kill my daughter to stop the stress, my husband told you it’s okay, you suffer from postnatal depression. It’s not the end of life, in some day, you’ll be fine.”
