Summary: A must read for those going through PPD!!!
Comment: After getting hit hard with PPD when my daughter was four months old, I searched far and wide for books on the subject and consider this book a godsend!!! Ten months later it is still the only book I've found that thoroughly and accurately explains the horrific feelings I felt during those first few awful months. I found myself nodding and underlining sentences in the book because they perfectly described my feelings when I was so unable to explain exactly how I was feeling to anyone. The introduction alone is amazing!
Rating: 5
Summary: Honest and informative
Comment: I run a website for postpartum mood disorders and am constantly on the lookout for materials to share with the visitors of our site and forum. I was absolutely captured by this book and did not want to put it down. So many things the author describes, from feelings to manifestations of her illness, echo the lives and stories of other mothers who have lived with a postpartum mood disorder. I invite all women who are planning or expecting to have a baby to READ THIS BOOK. Ignorance of the subject will not, unfortunately, make you immune...

Summary: This book led me to the answer for my PPD.
Comment: I was in my seventh month of pregnancy with my fourth child (in 4 1/2 years) when I came upon this book. I had suffered severe PPD with my first 3 children, and my husband and I had decided not to have any more children. When I found out that I was pregnant again, I was devastated. I was depressed throughout the pregnancy, and was dreading the April delivery and the first year afterwards.
Ms. Resnick's book arrived on my doorstep in mid-February. I read it twice that day, underlining quite a few things the second time through. I found myself nodding in agreement and exclaiming, "Yes, that's exactly how I felt!" It was so reassuring to know that someone else really did understand!
At the back of the book, I found the phone number for Depression After Delivery. I called and within 10 days I was in the office of a wonderful counselor. She worked with me over the next several weeks. I was encouraged by her to seek medicinal help from a psychiatrist, who changed my medication.
All of this came about because I read Ms. Resnick's book. She helped me to recognize the need for professional help, the realization that medicine is supposed to DO something positive, and the understanding that it is OK to limit the size of one's family for the benefit of a healthy, happy mommy.
The ending is happy: Within one week of my medication being switched, I felt like a new person. Three weeks later, my second son (fourth child) was born. I had one brief bout of the blues on Day 3, but the months since then have been the happiest of my life. I am so thankful for Ms. Resnick's book. It gave me direction and encouragement, and I was finally able to enjoy the infancy of one of my children.
