  • How to really understand post natal depression


    This is the release of a new book about Post Natal Depression, (P.N.D.) entitled "How to really understand Post Natal Depression". Quite a lot of information about this condition is available now and so women are generally better informed. One in every ten pregnancies is thought to be followed by some form of P.N.D. It may even be more. In spite of this, there is the repeated comment from women who have P.N.D. to those around them that "You just don’t understand". Sometimes, the woman herself "Doesn’t understand".

    This new book is written by a senior,experienced Consultant Medical Specialist who has spent a professional lifetime studying this illness, and has also treated several thousand women with P.N.D.. The book centres on understanding this condition. Understanding makes it easier to cope with the illness but, even more importantly, understanding it helps women with this condition to recover. Included is a detailed description of symptoms and advice about the various treatment options.

    Then there is the question as to whether a woman can have another baby and/or will she be likely to get PND again? With more knowledge and deeper understanding of this illness, questions like these are easier to answer. What about breast feeding? If a woman has P.N.D.should she breast-feed, especially if she is on medication? With understanding the answer to this is more easily attained.

    Sometimes, friends, relatives and neighbours may make uninvited comments as to : ‘why a nice young woman with a good husband and a lovely new baby is feeling depressed’. They may ask,"What have you got to be depressed about? Go home and count your blessings!" However,once they understand that P.N.D. is, in fact, a recognised illness, then they, too, cope better.

    Thus, until people understand this illness, the healthcare professional is working largely in the dark.

    Understanding is knowledge: Knowledge is power; the power to cope with this illness and the community’s attitudes about it but, more importantly, the power to help you know how to recover.
