Why Postnatal Depression MattersMia ScotlandLabel: Pinter & Martin Ltd.Description: You have probably heard of postnatal depression but did you know that most cases of postnatal depression actually began in pregnancy? And that most people who have antenatal depression have had depression in the past? And did you know that postnatal depression is not caused by women’s hormones gone awry; men are suffering postnatal and perinatal depression in larger and larger numbers too? This is why “postnatal depression has now been renamed “perinatal depression(‘peri’ means around as in the word “perimeter).Why is the seemingly joyful event of new parenthood causing so much suffering? Depression seems to be related to the stresses that a modern couple undertake when they have a baby. The lack of support lack of celebration overload of expectations overwhelming responsibility isolation judgment blaming by the media tiredness mixed messages confusion high expectations and lack of tender loving care serve to eventually break parents and their relationships. And when we break parents we break a baby. Babies are our future and if we break a baby in the long run we break society. Postnatal depression takes a high toll on society. Dealing effectively with perinatal depression is about valuing love connection calm and stillness over and above productivity achievement and acquisition.
This product would be a great fit for individuals seeking to raise awareness about postnatal depression and provide them with valuable resources and guidance.
