Darker Shades Of Baby Blue: Post Partum Depression And

[Guest guest]

Dear Suzanne,

I am by no means an expert, but I have had problems for close to 25 yrs.

The only thing I can tell you is to make sure that your daughter gets

good follow up care. Please give her a lot of emotional support. If

one Dr. or Social Worker does not work then find another one that does.

Please get yourself educated on mental health and you can get a lot of

information on the net. About.com has a web site that has lots of

links. She needs lots of love and support and it might help you to find

a support group for family members.

 

My prayers are with you and your daughter

Terri P
