Don't Forget Yourself: Dealing with Depression Postpartum

Becoming a mother is an incredible experience, but it can also be overwhelming and stressful. For many new mothers, the postpartum period can be a time of intense hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and emotional vulnerability. While it's normal to feel some sadness or anxiety after giving birth, for some women, these feelings can develop into postpartum depression (PPD).

PPD is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of women. If you're struggling with PPD, you may experience symptoms such as persistent sadness, anxiety, irritability, fatigue, and difficulty bonding with your baby. These symptoms can make it difficult to function in your everyday life and can impact your relationships with your family and friends.

If you think you may be experiencing PPD, it's important to seek help from a qualified mental health professional. Treatment for PPD typically involves a combination of therapy and medication. With the right treatment, you can recover from PPD and enjoy a healthy and fulfilling life as a mother.

In this book, licensed therapist and mother Sarah Wilson offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and overcoming PPD. Drawing on her own personal experience with PPD, as well as her work with countless women who have struggled with this condition, Wilson provides practical advice and support for new mothers.
