Suchitra Krishnamoorthi on a difficult postpartum 

Recalling the day she found out she’d be a mother, Suchitra remembers that it all started with her incessant craving for cheese. The nausea kicked in, and the confirmed pregnancy took her by surprise. However, the postpartum period was severe. She explains, “I was living alone in London, I had no family around me, and my body and my mind reacted very, extremely. I would have crying bouts. I would have very deep pits that my mind would fall into. I was not able to come out of it for a long time, and I couldn`t understand what was going on. I had to take therapy.”
