Postpartum depression impacts around 1 in 10 new moms. It is important to know the signs and how to get help for yourself or a friend. I want you to know that you deserve help and it's easier to access than you think.
Today we are joined by Dr. Jo Kim, the Director of Perinatal Depression Program at NorthShore University HealthSystem, and Nancy Segall, LCSW.
Jo and Nancy help us understand what are perinatal mood disorders, including postpartum depression. Nancy helped found Beyond the Baby Blues support group in the Chicago area, and gives advice on finding a support system.
