Been There

Having been a patient of Ms. Sebastian's several years ago, I can honestly say that everything she talks about in this book is based on what real women (like me) have been through. I especially liked the coverage of the anxiety that can frequently go along with the depression, of which many people are unaware. This book is easy to read and understand, which can be helpful when you are suffering from depression/anxiety and may be having trouble with memory or concentration. Other women's "stories" in the book help you to realize that you are not alone and that there is successful treatment. I am proof!

A very informative book

This book was very comforting to my wife and me when she went through a depression after our second child. It caught us so off guard. We were hungry for information. This book helped us understand postpartum issues and how to get help.

A most-helpful book to me and my family.

This book explains postpartum depression very clearly and helps the family understand what the new mother is going through. The description about treatment helped explain what to expect.
