You get your depression assessed from a psychiatrist and get treated. Only if you are physically and emotionally well, you can give proper care and bring up the child. It is common to have depression after childbirth and they respond very well to treatment. Good luck.

Hi lybrate-user, low birth babies can catch up weight and thrive as they grow. With the symptoms what your are describing seems to be like postpartum depression. 10 out of every 100 post delivery, mum can experience this. Would suggest to see psychiatrist who may consider treatments. It is important that you should feel better in your self to look after your baby better.

Women are vulnerable to develop post partum blues and postpartum depression after delivery characterized by persistent sad feelings, mood swings, loss of interests, anger episodes, irritability, easy fatiguability, crying spells, self aloofness and withdrawal, negative thoughts about oneself and future, self guilt, and neglect of day to day activities. A thyroid profile test is recommended along with assessment by a psychiatrist to determine presence or absence of a diagnosable psychiatry disorder to start treatment at the earliest.
