Postpartum Depression in the news...

by Binah Baby on July 12th, 2010

There have been new twists and startling accusations in the case of Kyron Horman, the 7-year-old Portland boy who has been missing for more than a month. While his family clings to hope that he's still alive, they are raising new questions about his stepmother.

Could postpartum depression have played a role in the boys disappearance?

Kyron's parents, Kaine Horman and Desiree Young, have revealed one of the reasons they say they fear Kyron's stepmother, Terri Horman, is hiding something -- that she changed after the birth of her baby, Kiara, 19 months ago.

Read the rest here.

I am not an alarmist, but there is a reason for early diagnosis and treatment. Not every woman demonstrates extreme symptoms- but they can still damage a family. So do something:

Contacct a postpartum doula- she'll refer you to an expert in your area.
In Israel, go tothe nurse at Tipat Chalav, if she is a support for you.
Speak with your GYN.
Call Nitza.

Just do something.
