This review is from: Overcoming Postpartum Depression, A Doctor's Own Story (Audio CD)

After giving birth to my grandson my daughter changed. My wife and I did not know what to do for her. Out of all the materials on Postpartum Depression we obtained for her, this audio tape set was what she actually used. My wife and I also found the information very useful for ourselves. Dr. Nightingale's section on "What to do for someone with Postpartum Depression," has been invaluable to us. Even with my daughter's poor concentration she has been able to listen to Dr. Nightingale's story over and over when she is feeding the baby. These tapes have brought hope to my daughter and our family. I am very appreciative that they were available through amazon so quickly.The information on avoiding Postpartum Depression in future births has given my daughter hope about the future as well. I would highly recommend them for any family faced with the challenges of Postpartum Depression.
