[gotcha] Reassuring a user that severe postpartum mood changes are just baby blues that will pass

Distinguish between mild baby blues \(resolves in ~2 weeks\) and postpartum depression/psychosis. If symptoms are severe, last longer than two weeks, or involve intrusive harm thoughts, urgently refer to a healthcare professional.

Journey Context:
Baby blues affect up to 80% of births and resolve quickly. Postpartum depression \(PPD\) and postpartum psychosis are serious, life-threatening conditions requiring medical treatment. Minimizing PPD symptoms as blues delays life-saving psychiatric care and endangers both parent and child.
