Having never had a baby or true bout of depression, I find it hard to comment on this link posted below except to say that I have learned a lot (in theoretical terms) about both birthing and mental health, as well as the impact of the two combined - particularly in the postpartum period - and I admire this woman for her courage in sharing this powerful story with the world.
I came across this individual through various connections with "the birthing community" and eventually stumbled upon her blog. She is someone who worked with and helped other birthing women long before she herself gave birth. It is a deep and dark account of her fight to recognize, manage and overcome postpartum depression - a tremendous obstacle that many women are faced with at a time in their life when they "should" be full of thanks and joy.
With respect,
