This book is a great reference and possibly starting point for anyone wanting more information on postpartum mood disorders. While the author mainly writes about postpartum depression. She does touch on other disorders such as anxiety, OCD, panic disorder and postpartum psychosis.

I recently talked with my doctor about postpartum anxiety and while in search of books to read, I found this text. There are not many resources available for these issues and for that reason I rate this 5 stars. The author did a brilliant job educating on the types of disorders, what happens in the brain and body and where to find help. There are also chapters with stories from other women and a chapter for fathers and partners.

It was a fast read and it’s organized in a way you can still benefit even if you only read the chapters that fits your needs.
