Amber Portwood is going through a difficult time. Of course, as many fans have pointed out, it seems that Amber is pretty much always going through a hard time. Though many of her problems are self-inflicted, and she seems reluctant to atone for her abusive and violent past, Amber's struggle with postpartum depression has earned her the sympathy of many Teen Mom OG viewers. However, many of those fans have been discouraged by Amber's continued tendency to blame others — including her employers — for the state of her mental health. Take a look: 1. Amber’s Angst Amber has been quite open about her various mental health issues, including her struggles with postpartum depression. 2.
