PPD Resource

Someone sent in a postcard to Postsecret this week about PPD. I wanted to pass along information from a post that someone put with it about a resource for those struggling with PPD.

 

I noticed a woman had written a postcard on your site today about post partum depression. I wanted to extend to her and any other woman suffering our resource 1-800-PPD-MOMS.

There she can find comfort in the referral to a mom in her area who has also suffered from the effects of PPD/PPP; received the help she needed; and then gone on to get peer counselor training to offer help and hope to other moms who may be suffering in silence.

My heart goes out to her and as you know Kristin [my wife] died by suicide as a result of poorly treated post partum depression which turned into post partum psychosis. I started the Kristin Brooks Hope Center [1-800-SUICIDE] to help moms, and others, suffering as Kristin did.

    I saw that card on Post Secret and it really hit home... it was almost scary how much I could relate to that one.  I just wanted to reach out and hug that woman!  Thanks for passing this information along!  The more awareness for it, the better!
