So the depression then shows up as sadness, unable to care for yourself, not wanting to eat, not wanting to do anything, not actually finding any enjoyment in anything.
So it's persistent.
So it's not just I'm sad one day, then I'm okay the next day.
It's every day, not wanting to engage in anything, not wanting to go out, not wanting to socialize, not wanting to hold the baby, not wanting to interact with the baby.
I can feel depression when I see someone.
It's immediate.
Like they walk in, the person, you can almost feel that the lights are out.
The person is having some really dark thoughts as well can pass through.
That I'm not good enough, maybe I'm better off not being here.
So it's dangerous.
So it should have good PR.
I say it in jest.
Yeah.
But actually, when I see it, I'm like, okay, this is mattresses has happened, but this woman has not been supported in her mattresses.
She's completely been left alone in this state and not understood.
Not her fault.
Not the fault of her family because they don't know either.
Not the fault of the doctors because they don't know either.
Nobody knows except for Dana.
Yeah.
