''Dr Bennett is wonderful and a wealth of information. Dr Bennett is a mom and she had first hand experience with PPD. She told us candidly the effects untreated PPD had on her family and how their relationship had to build on that foundation. Knowing that there is healing to be had alleviates some of the anxiety we place on ourselves as parents. Her information is practical, like blue light blocking sunglasses for a common new mom side effect, insomnia. Overall, I would recommend her to everyone."
