Can someone recommend a great book on Postpartum depression?
July 15th, 2010 | 
Author: I’m looking for great book, resourceful books about women who have gone through postpartum depression and beat it. If you have stories of your own and would like to share, I would love to hear them. Thank you guys so much!
Don’t have a book to recommend, but I think Brooke shields did one…Just from my experience I would get on an antidepressent (talk to your OB about it), Get outside everyday for fresh air, exercise everyday, talk to someone (find a moms group!), do not get caught up in Television, shower and get dressed everyday, open the curtains and let the light in, and if need be see a therapist/counselor.

Its not about postpartum depression but it may help it’s called: "Even June Cleaver would forget the juice box. How to raise great kids in the age of extreme parenting." It helped me.

I don’t really have a lot of time to type, my son is ready for bed, but if you get a chance, email me how your feeling. I went through a really bad bought of PPD and love to hear other peoples stories in hopes of making them feel better. email me because I know I will forget to come back to your question after my son is asleep.

Two of my favorites with stories of women who recovered are Postpartum Depression For Dummies and Mother to Mother. You will recover! You need a practical plan of action with sleep, nutrition, emotional support and physical support, for starters. Don’t wait for it to go away by itself, since it can turn into chronic depression if it goes on too long. You deserve to enjoy your life!
