How to deal with postpartum anxiety

Question

Asked for Female, 32 Years

I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl just a month ago. However, instead of being joyful I feel unnaturally sad, disconnected and depressed. My doctor believes that I’m suffering from postpartum anxiety. Are there any mothers who battled PPD as well? Can you tell me how can I deal with postpartum anxiety?
