Postpartum Depression For Dummies

I truly feel that any woman who is battling postpartum depression or postpartum ocd NEEDS to read this book! I cannot say enough good things about it. This book covers in depth all of the mood disorders that one may experience after having a baby, and it is written by an expert in the field, who understands exactly what it is like to battle this monster. Dr. Bennett also addresses the family of those going through this, as it is so important for them to understand how to help and support women dealing with this. I felt so comforted reading this book, and have it on my kindle so I can take it with me and read it whenever I feel the need. After reading various books on ppd and ppocd and visiting various web-sites, I must say that this book is the most helpful one yet. I recommend expecting mother's read this as well, so they can be prepared as to what they could possibly face after having a baby! Thank you so much Dr. Bennett for caring enough to write this book and share parts of your personal journey with us all.

I was really surprised at how personal this book is considering its a 'dummies" book. I really think that if you have PPD this book is a great help to understand what is REALLY going on in your situation. IT addresses all different types of PPD. I am in the middle of PPD, and have really struggled with Post partum anxiety and OCD and it really addresses my fears and thoughts and kind of gives you a good game plan to get help; I think anyone struggling with PPD should buy this book. It really is helping me better understand myself in the middle of a time when u feel like you have completely lost yourself.

I just finished reading "Post Partum for Dummies" and it has helped me immeasurably. This book really explains all aspects of dealing with PPD and offers insight into the many different avenues you can take to get help. This book does not push any method over another and is a book that is accessable to anyone. Thank you for writing this book. It has been a dark time and reading this has made feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

As someone who went through an horrendous experience with PPA and PPD with extremely frighting and severe symptoms this was the first book that spoke to me. I have read multiple books on ppd and anxiety/panic disorder and they where all informative and helpful but nothing came close to this book.This is a survival kit for anyone groping in the dark. It gives you everything you need to know to cope and weather this difficult storm.

This book has helped me understand what it is that I am feeling and gave me great advice on how to help myself in the situation, I really appreciate that author who take time to study and try and help those of us who are not quiet certain why and what we are feeling. Thank you!!! This book helped me get the right help and understating about my feelings.

This book was helpful with explaining PPD to my husband. A lot of helpful information.

Its okay.. I dont feel like I learned anything that you don't already know from picking up on a few online articles. They just constantly repeat themselves over and over.. the book could be half the size if they didnt repeat so much.

For anyone who has just had a baby or is thinking about having a baby. Buy this book! This books really opened my eyes about what the symptoms are of postpartum depression/mood disorders and their treatments.
