Hey all, I have been lurking on this board since my LO was born. I'm sure I suffer from PPD (edinburugh score of 15) but my dr. says that because I don't want to commit suicide I don't suffer from it.
Regardless I came across this newspaper article from a city near to where I live and found some comfort in it knowing that what I am thinking and feeling is very much PPD and is normal. Now to just find the help I need.

Re: Newspaper article
You should go see another doctor. You shouldn't have to live with PPD. It can get sooo much better.
I will check out that article...thanks!
ditto. PPD doesnt only mean suicidal tendancies. Depression in a mild form can harm you, and your family. see someone else.
