  • This video is excellent. I had severe postpartum OCD and if I hadn't have gotten help I know that either I, my baby or both of us would not be here today. There is hope. With help you will get through it.

  • @laurajdahl That is environmental depression that you have or even a little more, but this is chemical. Think of the saddest day of your life. A day where you opened your eyes and thought 'noooo' because you couldn't bare to be awake. Where you can't get out of bed because you have no energy or you miss someone...when you are like this you feel that way for no reason and it's the scariest thing you will ever deal with because you can't figure out why you feel devastated.

  • my mom had postpartum depression with my older sister

  • @laurajdahl Easy to say

  • @steminc1 that's why over 200 mothers kill their infants every year?

  • my mom had postpartum depression when she had me. I've now been depressed my whole life. Yay!!!

  • bogus illness, it's an excuse ... just like sex addiction is an excuse to cheat ... doctors are making millions off this stuff 

  • @Sikros I have felt like this and if someone doesn't take you seriously then you have the wrong Dr. talk to a phyc. nurse or make an appointment to get a phyc. Dr. You have the right to feel happy and no one can take that from you, but remember no one will just give that to you. Take charge of your life you deserve it!

  • Don't wait two weeks if you are feeling homicidal or suicidal. Go to the hospital right away the same day. You will be helped.

  • I thought I was crazy I kept thinking that I would accidently throw my baby out the window or down the stairs...More dr should warn about this during the prenatal visits! Im glad I told my husband how I felt so he knew to help me. I thankfully didnt need meds.

  • Im depressed cause I don't have a husband and children... They should be happy for having the baby... They should get on some vitamins...
