Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a mental health condition occurring in women following birth of a child. In many women the baby blues will continue on for months and even up-to a year following child birth. It is extremely important every woman understands and acknowledges that you are not alone nor is anything wrong with you as mother. While the American Psychiatric Association indicates 9-17% of women will suffer from PPD, it is important to realize these figures are seriously under-reported for women. Women often fear that acknowledging they have a problem will result in a child being removed from the home. This is not true and only in extreme situation were the child’s life is a risk would this be done. The SUPPORT YOU NEED is all around
