With respect to Postpartum Depression being real... I’ll back you on that. A few years ago, a medical doctor in Baltimore threw herself off the hospital roof. She had given birth eight weeks prior. Yes.. Postpartum. I worked at enough hospitals that had psychiatric wards and saw the women who were diagnosed with it. Some had Depression and a few had postpartum psychosis. Sad, sad cases.. that were helped with a lot of medications.
Thank you. I appreciate your response. I’ve had to deal with women in the outback stations some of whom suffered from it. I really learned a lot about PPD because of it.
Was there any mention in medical journals of postpartum depression before the national media discovered the ailment?
