Coping with Postnatal Depression
by Dr. Sandra L. Wheatley
Between 10 and 20 per cent of women who have babies will be affected by postnatal depression, causing distress at a time of life where there is every reason for happiness. For many symptoms are relatively mild, but others can suffer from very serious, continuing bouts of depression.
Dr Sandra Wheatley offers sympathetic advice and support to those who have postnatal depression, and their families. The topics covered include: symptoms; causes; treatment; staying well; surrounding worries – work, relationships, other children; and further resources.
There is no reason to despair – this book can walk new mothers through the bad times and leaving them free to enjoy these new and exciting times.
Dr Sandra L. Wheatley has over a decade’s experience developing and assessing innovative interventions to prevent and treat antenatal and postnatal depression, as well as five years’ experience in training professionals and volunteers in the symptoms and treatments for this form of depression.
