Imagine That Your Friend Confides in You That She Is

Imagine that your friend confides in you that she is feeling upset after the birth of her new baby.She complains that she has little energy to cope with the demands of the household and that her partner is becoming impatient with her behaviour.Even though she and her partner tried for some time to conceive, she wishes that she had never had this child.Based on what you have learned in the course, what would be your advice to your friend?

A) If the feelings are persistent, she should see her physician because she may have mild postpartum depression.
B) These feelings are quite normal, even if they continue for several weeks.
C) She should seek immediate help because she may be seriously depressed, and she is in danger of harming her baby or herself.
D) You should call a crisis intervention centre because she may be suffering from postpartum psychosis and needs immediate help before she harms her baby or partner.
