Format:Paperback
I suffered from PPD/OCD 2 years ago...This is the wonderful book that helped me through a very difficult time in my life. This book is so informative from recognizing your symptoms to coping strategies to finding the right help. The list of medications and possible side effects were more helpful then any information I recieved from my own physician. The individual stories give you comfort in letting you know that you are not alone in this illness. The book makes you realize that this is a very treatable condition and the way you are feeling is temporary...It helped me jump in the shower, get dressed and put makeup on even if I was staying in all day...it make me feel better about myself....I was able to explain to my husband what I was going thru from the understanding I recieved from reading this book... I would recommend it to anyone out there...Thank you for writing this wonderful book and for understanding this condition..

I did not realise that pp stress was a condition, I knew I didn't have depression, but I knew I wasn't 100% right either- this book is reassuring, professional and a life saver. It helps you to assess why you are how you are, and why you should not feel guilty and helps you to change the stuff that you need to - it also tells you which things you need to seek professional help for and for me the book was just what I needed, the other books on PPd are also good and certainly worth reading but this one is invaluable.

I read this book during and after an Episode of PPD. It comforted me to learn that what I was feeling was felt by others and I was not alone. It gave me an understanding of what was happening to me and gave me hope that I would get better. It was filled with facts about PPD and different treatments. It was written with compassion and wisdom. I truly found it to be a lifesaver!!!!
