Book Description
A Mother’s Tears presents a caring and knowledgeable picture of postpartum depression. Psychologist Arlene M. Huysman explains the very real hormonal and emotional causes of what was once dismissed as the "baby blues," defines who is at risk, and shows readers how to recognize the illness. She also describes proper treatment, explains how to make sure one’s doctor is an ally, and discusses how family can help new mothers get well again. This primer on the causes and cures of this common but long-misunderstood illness contains a new chapter presenting the most up-to-date research and developments.
