PPD: more common than you think
You are not alone... Each year more woman experience post-partum depression and related illnesses than the combined number of new cases for men and women of tuberculosis, leukemia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy. Having a baby is HARD! If you think you may be experiencing PPD, it is okay to seek help! "Baby blues" are common, but if your symptoms linger more than 5 days after giving birth, I would strongly encourage you to seek professional help! http://postpartumprogress.org/2011/02/how-many-women-really-get-postpartum-depression/
