Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a serious illness that impacts the entire family. Without effective intervention it can cause great suffering and serious damage to families. In rare cases it can lead to suicide or murder. However, in most cases, with proper treatment and support, a woman and her family can fully recover from PPD. This website is intended to help dads and families by providing firsthand information and guidance through the experience of PPD. This site also includes information and resources that can be used by professionals to assist families dealing with PPD. We hope that you find the information on this website useful and we welcome comments and suggestions. |
