Postpartum psychosis is a mental illness,which involves the rapid onset of psychotic symptoms in a woman following childbirth.Symptoms of postpartum psychosis can include feelings of being ordered by God to harm oneself or the children,seeing or hearing things that others don't,out of control feelings and thoughts,random or uncontrollable anxiety attacks or memory lapses.Andrea Yates methodically drowned her 5 children in a bathtub in her Texas house in June 2001.She suffered from post-partum psychosis.In "Baby Blues" the mother is trying to kill her four children.After having a complete psychotic breakdown she smothers the baby and stabs to death two older children.Only her oldest son named Jimmy manages to survive.Colleen Porch is perfectly believable as a murderous mommy with hatchet as are the child actors.The scenes of violence and child murder are mostly off-screen,but still pack one hell of a punch.8 out of 10.
