Maternal Instincts in Overdrive-Postpartum Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

"An impulse or thought or image takes over your mind and feels like it will consume you.  You perform certain tasks repetitively to ease your mind.  You fret and obsess about your baby, things that can harm him, horrible images or scenes fill your head.  Scared and confused you try to understand where these thoughts came from?"
 
Unfortunately, this is a common scene for a postpartum mom dealing with obsessive compulsive issues.
