To be certain, you should discuss your symptoms with your family doctor. It's important to discuss not just you're feeling, but how often, and how long, and how intense it is. It's also important to note that there are many forms of postpartum depression with varying influence over your lifestyle. If your life is being affected by how you feel, please contact your medical professional to discuss.

Just observe your emotions and work on it for sometime (as the reason for it to come, duration, occurrence etc) If you feel that it is worsening your livelihood just meet a doctor or a counselor. They would be better to help you know
