Such a wonderful and brave essay! This reminded me of the show Barzakh, which also has a story track on this important issue.

What an honest and brave piece. Yes, postpartum depression is for real. Unfortunately, most women suffer in silence, and hold themselves responsible.

Yes. It is extremely difficult to speak out about this. When I read about women taking the extreme step with their babies, I truly feel them.

Thanks Karthik. It has taken more than two decades for me to come out in the open about exactly how I felt at that point in time. I could finally cry about it while writing this.
