'The Cry': Jenna Coleman's character, Joanna, is proof that postpartum depression and 'mother-blame' exists
Postpartum depression can also be as deadly as any other mental illness and it should not be marginalized as a mere controversy.
Postpartum depression is probably one of the most marginalized sections of mental illness, as most claim it is only a state of mind that some mothers go through when they have their first child. However, it has been proved that a woman can undergo postpartum depression even when she is giving birth to her second or third child. This very fact that postpartum depression very much exists and can have some serious consequences on the mother has been highlighted in the Jenna Coleman adaptation of Helen Fitzgerald's 2013 novel, 'The Cry'.
