Have a friend with PND, gave birth 2 weeks ago and she's struggling to relate to her child. Any tips?

Please advise her to see her GP. I hoped mine would just go away, or that it was baby blues. Three years down the line I have horrendous depression and anxiety for which I am now quite heavily medicated and receiving counselling. Flowers to your friend

GP and probably medication. It takes the edge off. Makes things bearable.
I was diagnosed 3 weeks post partum. It was just a giant hormonal crash type thing. Took 2 years to get back to normal. Thank god for anti depressants.
