Mother Leaves Baby at the Station, Psychiatrist Reveals it's not Baby Blues but Already Depression

Dream - A heartbreaking viral video on social media TikTok, showing a mother who appears confused while being at Pasar Minggu Station on Saturday, September 2, 2023. She left her baby alone in a dangerous area.

"The video uploaded by the TikTok account @akaross shows the mother being calmed down by two officers, but she keeps resisting. The officer immediately carries her baby, and people around try to help."

Many assume that the mother is experiencing baby blues syndrome or postpartum depression and stress due to hormonal changes and habits. It turns out that is not accurate.

Doctor Zulvia Oktanida Syarif, a psychiatric specialist, through Instagram @dr.vivisyarif revealed that the mother is already in a state of depression, specifically Postpartum Psychosis.

"Baby blues is a relatively normal condition that occurs in 80 percent of new mothers. It can happen due to hormonal changes, routines, sleep patterns, changes in responsibilities, feeling sad, not feeling attached or bonded to the baby. However, it only lasts for 2-3 days up to two weeks""

words from Dr. Vivi in her Instagram.

"This has been said for months that it's still baby blues, having thoughts of suicide\/ killing myself to hurt the baby being called baby blues, no! This is postpartum depression or postpartum psychosis, take her to a psychiatrist," said Dr. Vivi.

"Until now, the awareness to take care of a mother's mental health is still lacking attention from many parties. However, significant changes occur in a mother's physical and psychological well-being after giving birth, and this requires assistance and support from many people. If a mother appears stressed, do not delay seeking consultation."

To fathers, close relatives, and even parents, please try to be more sensitive to the changes experienced by the mother. This condition should not be ignored because it can be very dangerous for the mother's life, the baby, and even the entire family.

"The longer the mother is depressed, the longer the baby is not well taken care of, the baby cannot have a healthy attachment/bonding with its mother. It's a pity, later the child will have the potential to experience mental health problems as an adult," said Dr. Vivi.
