...it’s very important for women to receive treatment if they are depressed in pregnancy. We know that depression itself crosses the placenta. Depression can hurt the growing baby. It doesn’t only hurt the mom herself who might be trying to self-treat; she might be smoking or she might be drinking; she might be taking over-the-counters; she might be not eating well; she might not be going to her pre-natal visits. So that can certainly hurt her, but it can also be hurting the growing baby.
Postpartum Depression for Dads

For new dads, is there a male equivalent of PPD (aka postpartum depression)? There isn’t much research into the subject, but in talking to other counselors and therapists, I would estimate that rates of paternal depression range up to about 25 percent when there isn’t concurrent PPD in the female partner and as high as 50 percent among men whose partners are also experiencing postpartum depression.
Depression During Pregnancy

Advice for moms suffering from depression during and after pregnancy. "It’s crucial for the mother’s health – and therefore her growing baby’s health – that she does whatever is necessary to treat her depression." Click the title to go to a video link and read the rest of Dr. Shosh's response.
Why people feel sadness after a baby

You've just had a baby, but instead of feeling the happiness and joy you anticipated, you are feeling sad and hopeless; you are not alone. According to Dr. Marco Martinez, an obstetrician/gynecologist with the Elmhurst Clinic and on staff at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, up to 80 percent of mothers have these types of feelings after delivery.

“We had so much fun with Dr. Bennett on our teleseminar series, ‘Stress Relief Tips and Advice from the Masters’. Many of our listeners were very profoundly impacted by Dr. Shoshana’s advice, and we would love to have her back for another show. Shoshana was very upbeat, and easy to have that natural banter that we all like to listen to! Listen to her incredible interview with my business partner, Kim Markison, here: http://www.hypno-freedom.com/shoshana”
