Postpartum Depression

STD for PPD

I'm expecting to get PPD, I'm already anxious and depressed prepartum and i've had moderate depression for a long time.  how does short term disability work with this in conjunction with the birth?  tia.

Re: STD for PPD

  • I'm guessing it depends on your HR's policy, but I think I've heard someone else say that her OB wrote a note that she wasn't ready to go back to work but didn't specify PPD.
