Anne's symptoms of tearfulness, irritability, and outbursts of sadness suggest that she is experiencing postpartum blues. Postpartum blues affects up to 80% of new mothers and typically lasts for a few days up to two weeks after delivery. Unlike postpartum depression or psychosis, postpartum blues is a milder and more transient condition.
