Baby blues is very common in the first 1 - 2 weeks after delivery, affects 70-80% of all women. Mood changes are milder or at least short term. It is due to hormonal changes and the adjustment to new routines/responsibilities. For most cases will just subside on its own especially with good family support. However, in PND the mood changes are more intense, lasting more than 2 weeks and affecting overall functioning, struggling to cope, tends to persist for months and may spiral down to severe problems when untreated.
