Looking for thoughts on postpartum depression resources
- by admin
We are doing a little preliminary research on postpartum depression resources on Vancouver Island and postpartum depression in general, and looking for women to share their ideas with us.
If you can, please share with us the following:
1) Did you have post partum depression? how did you know? For how long?
2) Did you get help? Why or why not?
3) Who referred you to help? Doc, midwife, public health nurse, friend?
4) What kind of help did you get? Counseling, meds, postpartum doula, group, etc…?
5) Might some of your postpartum depression have been prevented somewhat or entirely? If so, how?
6) What kind of resources helped & what type of resources do you wish existed?
7) Where have you received any info on postpartum depression? Public Health nurse, doctor, midwife, friends, websites?
If you are not from Vancouver Island and you know of some great postpartum depression resources, please share with us!
Please send responses privately by email and feel free to elaborate on these questions if you have more to share. Thank you!
