Whether you’ve already received a diagnosis, or you’re unsure why you’re just not feeling quite right after the arrival of your new miracle, You Are Not Alone—Understanding And Working Through Postpartum Depression: A Common Condition So Often Misunderstood by Carrie Vanderbilt is for any woman who has struggled with the strange changes and emotions that appear during pregnancy and after delivery.

Feeling hopeless or empty after childbirth is not a regular or expected part of being a mother. Treatment for depression, such as therapy or medicine, works and will help you and your baby be as healthy as possible in the future.
