As someone who struggled with PPD for about 8-9 months after my daughter's birth, I hope that articles like this will help others. There are resources out there, and I wish I had asked for help sooner! I didn't realize how bad it had gotten until the fog lifted.
The article says, "stigma of maternal mental illness is strong, and admitting you’re struggling is hard." I hope that in time the stigma goes away so that those of us who suffer during or after pregnancy can feel comfortable reaching out for support.
