    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance. I thank Sen. Kibwana for bringing this Statement on the Floor. Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a mood disorder affecting women after delivery. PPD in Africa is estimated to be about 10 to 28 per cent, while locally in Kenya, it is about 10.6 to 13.5 per cent. The feeling of this depression is more intense and lasts longer than those of baby- blues. Postpartum Depression is characterized by the worry, sadness and tiredness that many women experience after having babies. The symptoms resolve within a few minutes or days. Globally, PPD is estimated to be between 10 to 20 per cent. However, comparing to developed countries, a higher rate is reported. This is attributed to a little emphasis placed on postnatal care and mental health care issues. Women who suffer from PPD are often diagnosed with intensive depression. Accompanying symptoms may include feelings of anger, crying more than usual, withdrawal from their family, distress and detachment from their babies. They even worry that they will injure their babies and get a feeling of guilt of not being good mothers. Women in Mandera County can expect more kids in their lifetime due to high fertility rate. Fertility rate in Mandera County is higher than the national rate, which is 3.9 per cent. Additionally, Mandera County has higher birth rates as compared to the national rate."
