Book Description

Publication Date: July 2000

Research indicates that at least one in ten mothers experience post-natal depression, yet there is little help available to sufferers. This book aims to help them, and the professionals who work with them, to understand this illness. The book tells the stories of ten women from very different backgrounds - including the author - who have suffered post-natal depression. Their stories should be a source of strength and hope for other sufferers and should also raise awareness of the illness and the destructive effect it can have on individuals and families. The book offers positive suggestions and practical advice, based on personal and professional experience.

Teresa Twomey "Mom on a mission" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Surviving Post-Natal Depression: At Home, No One Hears You Scream (Paperback)

Having had PPD myself, I found this to be the best book on the market for "hearing" stories of other women like me. Most of the books out there are very clinical or a story of a single person. Because this provided a greater portrait of the women themselves, it provided the most healing for me. We need more books like this.
