Post Partum Depression
The Online PPD Support Group

Being a mother is one of the hardest jobs anyone can do, and suffering from post-partum depression (PPD) can make the hard job feel impossible. Many women suffer silently from PPD, it is very common, but entirely treatable. This site is a great place to start if you think you may need help. You can also contact your local Vancouver Island Health Authority health unit for support and information.
