(premise is real moms with real stories of survival and recovery -- plus info from a leading PPD researcher -- a woman's health specialist who was a pioneer in terms of PPD research over the last 30 years. Most important message = support is key to recovering from PPD/PPA/PPP.)
There are probably moms here who know just as much if not more than the experts who appear - but some might find the program helpful. All the best!
Wheee!

Re: TV special on Postpartum Depression & Psychosis..
I live near Pittsburgh and my sister told me about this "episode" and DH and I watched it yesterday. Don't have the hallucinations that woman had but agreed with soooo much of what she said. I think I am going to try and go to that support group they talked about. I just wish /i could find one a bit closer.
Thanks for sharing.... others should def watch!!
