Postpartum depression symptoms can include:

• A. Weight loss
• B. Increased energy
• C. Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
• D. Heightened concentration

Answer: (C)

Sleep disturbance is a common symptom of postpartum depression, manifesting as trouble sleeping or sleeping too much. After giving birth, many new parents face disrupted routines and hormonal changes, and mood problems can make sleep even harder or lead to hypersomnia. This sleep disruption often ties into the broader mood symptoms of postpartum depression, like persistent sadness, anxiety, and fatigue, and it can worsen daily functioning and the ability to care for the baby.

The other options don’t fit as typical signs. Weight changes can occur, but weight loss by itself isn’t a hallmark symptom of postpartum depression. Increased energy is unlikely in depression, which more often brings low energy and fatigue. Heightened concentration isn’t a characteristic feature; depression more commonly involves difficulties with focus rather than sharper concentration.
