I welcome the opportunity to speak to your group about Postpartum Depression because I want new and expectant moms to know:
- Postpartum Depression is the number one complication of childbirth.
- Over 800,000 women in the United States this year will suffer because of it.
- This means that you are not alone if you have it.
- There are many “faces” of postpartum depression and I want you to recognize them.
- There are many misconceptions about postpartum depression that result in either under-reacting or assuming the worst and keeping it a secret.
- Both under-reacting and over-reacting results in a delay of treatment and prolongs suffering.
- Postpartum Depression is not about who you are as a person.
- It is about something that you have and it needs to be treated as soon as possible.
- You will feel better again and enjoy your baby.
If you are interested in having me speak to your group or organization, please contact me to arrange a date and time.
