Common misconception

The first thing to realise about post natal depression is that it is common, yes I said common, so why I ask myself is it that you hear very little about it? The answer is that sadly many woman still suffer still do so in silence. Many woman who have suffered say that they hid there feeling because they were terrified of peoples reactions, they thought people would think them a bad mother, weak because they couldn't cope, that they may take their baby away because they are not fit to look after them. The fact is that no one should be ashamed there is help out there and the good news is that most woman do recover and go on to lead normal, what ever that is lives.
