Post Natal Depression
Mums share their stories of postnatal depression and how they recovered. Around 20% of mums get postnatal depression (PND), and many don’t realise it right away or are ashamed to admit they need help.
PND can take the joy out of motherhood, and it’s vital to get it treated so you start feeling like yourself again.
Real mums share their experiences with PND and tell how they recognised the signs and symptoms, what treatment was like, and how they recovered and went on to enjoy motherhood with a new lease of life.
