A woman with a history of postpartum depression cut off the arms of her baby daughter ... they found the nearly 11-month-old baby ...

Isn't 11 months a bit long for postpartum depression? Somebody out there please educate me. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Family friend always got PPD after each birth. She KNEW the signs and IMMEDIATELY sought help. I'm sorry...I just don't buy the PPD excuse.

I've seen it go longer.

As an example I would point to my ex.

18 years and counting ;o)

This is more than postpartum depression. And as mentioned in the article, she had shown psychotic symptoms before. Same story as Andrea Yates. There's obviously a huge problem, but everybody involved pretends there isn't, until it's too late.
