Beyond the Baby Blues: Anxiety and Depression During and After Pregnancy

Description

Most people have heard of post-partum depression. What many of us have no idea is that anxiety and depression will also be experienced all over pregnancy, as well, and the affect will also be both debilitating and devastating. This book is a unique combination of one woman’s story of her struggle with perinatal distress and actionable advice from a professional within the field. Rebecca Fox Starr shares her personal story of marriage, motherhood, prenatal anxiety and depression, severe postpartum anxiety and depression, recovery process and hope for the longer term. Woven all the way through the narrative, Dr. Amy Wenzel, a specialist within the field of Perinatal Mood Disorders, provides readers with clinical information and advice, addressing risk factors, warning signs, definitions and recovery options. Stories from other women who experienced prenatal anxiety or depression are included as well. No longer do women have to suffer in silence, question their symptoms, or attempt to hide their feelings. Here, readers will see themselves within the narrative and take into account that the devastating effects of prenatal and post-partum depression will also be confirmed, treated, and managed, giving them hope for a brighter future.
