Etwa 10–15 % aller Mütter erleben nach der Geburt keine „rosa Wolke“, sondern eine postnatale Depression. In den Niederlanden betrifft das rund 23.000 Frauen jährlich – oft bleibt das Leiden im Stillen. #MentalHealth #PostpartumDepression 1/

Simpel neusspraytje in de strijd tegen postnatale depressie: ‘23.000 net bevallen vrouwen per jaar zitten níét op een roze wolk’

Een op de tien kersverse moeders is bepaald niet dolgelukkig na de geboorte. Ze zijn somber, verdrietig en bouwen geen band op met de baby. Er zijn therapieën en antidepressiva, maar nieuw onderzoek toont aan dat het hormoon oxytocine ook zou kunnen helpen.

Priscilla Ojo slams troll: Influencer denies mocking postpartum depression

​Story Highlights

Priscilla Ojo-Mkambala has forcefully debunked a viral tweet that falsely claimed she described postpartum depression as an illusion caused by poverty. On January 29, 2026, the media personality demanded evidence for the fabricated statement, prompting an immediate public apology from the Twitter user involved.

​Priscilla Ojo-Mkambala expressed shock and anger after a viral post attributed false and insensitive comments to her regarding motherhood. The influencer took to social media on January 29, 2026, to clear her name.

​She reacted to a tweet by user @_elite_girl that claimed she mocked women suffering from postpartum depression. The fabricated quote suggested Priscilla believed the condition was merely a result of poverty.

​The fake viral claim

​The controversy began when the Twitter account posted a photo of Priscilla with a caption detailing a non-existent interview. The post alleged that Priscilla said she never experienced depression because her love for her husband tripled after birth.

​”She believes postpartum depression is an illusion caused by poverty,” the fake tweet read, asking followers for their opinions.

​Priscilla wasted no time in shutting down the narrative, demanding proof of where she ever made such a statement.

​”I never said this, what’s wrong with Twitter people?? Be ready to provide evidence!!” she wrote on her Snapchat story.

​She added that the claim was “insulting to mothers” and “very insensitive.” This incident adds to a stressful month for the influencer, who recently Priscilla Ojo rants after losing expensive jewelry to theft during wedding.

​User begs for mercy

​Following Priscilla’s threat to demand evidence, the Twitter user, identified as Versage, issued a lengthy apology. The user claimed a “handler” managed the account at the time and posted the falsehood without permission.

​”I sincerely ask for your forgiveness… the tweet in question was posted by someone who was handling my page,” the user stated.

​Versage pleaded with Priscilla not to make her a “scapegoat,” citing fears that the legal trouble would “traumatize” her mother.

​”I give you my word that this will never happen again. I am truly sorry from the depth of my heart,” the user wrote.

​Priscilla has a history of defending her reputation aggressively. Just weeks ago, Priscilla Ojo slams fan claiming Juma Jux bought Afrima award in a similar online dispute.

​While the user blamed a third party for the error, they admitted they were “misled” into leaving the post up initially. Priscilla has not yet confirmed if she will accept the apology or pursue the matter further.

Lifestyle | Foodie | Family | Bryony on Instagram: "The post partum journey, the fourth trimester AKA welcome to the sh*t show. 2:48am, lying awake in a quiet room, white noise humming around me. The baby’s been waking all night and body aching from hours of feeding and rocking. My body feeling like a battlefield, stomach slack and unfamiliar, boobs aching, my 'lower parts' reminding me with every step that I had just given birth - and yet the world seems to expect mothers to bounce back - to smile, to "enjoy every moment", to somehow not unravel under the weight of it all. My mind won’t settle. It spins with exhaustion, frustration, and a strange mix of love and rage I've previously experienced with all my other 3 children - welcome to Post Natal Depression. On top of it all, I’m adjusting to life as a family of five - with a newborn and three other children who need me in different ways every day. The juggle is real, messy and exhausting. Some days it feels like I’m pulled in a million directions, and yet, I’m learning to find moments of calm in the chaos. But here’s the truth: I am grateful. Not in the tidy, Instagram-ready way everyone talks about - but grateful for the mums who have messaged me late at night saying, “me too” after viewing one of my Instagram stories. The ones who don’t sugarcoat it. The ones who’ve been right where I am - raw, exhausted and real. I'm grateful for my healthy babies. I'm grateful to have a roof over my head and food I can cook and enjoy (let's not discuss whether my kids enjoy it, they'd be happy with a McDonald's 😂) Our journeys might look different - different births, babies, battles - but the thread running through all of us is realness. The aching love. The silent frustration. The joy so fierce. The grief for who we were. And the strength we didn’t know we had. If you’re in the thick of it - the foggy, messy fourth trimester - know this: I see you. I'm going through it. I honour your experience, whatever it looks like. You don’t need to explain or pretend. This is your motherhood. And it’s enough. And if no one’s told you today: You’re doing amazing, sweetie. Even if you cried in the shower and you had cake for breakfast. Because honestly? Same! 🤟"

It's been a very long time since I struggled with this, and this was still hard to read and post about.

#postpartumdepression is absolutely still stigmatized and it is still very difficult for postpartum people to get help, to ask for help, and to have all this without judgment.

I've been there. Even as a middle class, white-appearing, professional woman, I was treated terribly by many so-called health care workers.

We need to demand better.

Around three months after giving birth, Lexie Howika started experiencing panic attacks she describes as "terrifying." Manitoba "is in desperate need of a postpartum 'baby and me' facility, where moms can access mental health services," she writes.
