Having a baby is thought to be a happy occasion -- but in some cases a type of anxiety and depression can appear before and after pregnancy. Hear from one Fresno woman who recognized the importance of seeking help.
I've been depressed throughout most of my pregnancy. One day I had a break down and drove my self to the hospital. I talked to a female psychologist who turned me away because I could not afford the $100 per hour therapy fee. I asked her what was I supposed to do and she gave me a blank stare. I keep hearing how important it is to seek help, but the treatment I got made me think that it's not that important to the medical community. Proper treatment if for the rich.The rest of us have to suffer.
