My wife was experiencing postpartum depression (crying a lot and panicky) and ended up getting phone counseling from this website. After two sessions she connected it to the way her mom lost her own life after having kids. Once she realized what was going on, she got a lot better.

I’ve worked with many moms who’ve experienced postpartum depression. Interestingly enough, the research doesn’t support that all moms who experience this dreadful mental health (or is it more hormonal?) condition suffer from anxiety. However, having said that many do – between 60-70% experience mild to extreme anxiety symptoms. One interesting thing is I have found in offering anxiety help is that the anxiety can be a “stand alone” issue. Two examples… one lady recalls early childhood trauma and simply having an infant in her presence triggered her symptoms. Another mom simply struggled with the dread that she wasn’t a good enough mom. Actually, she was incredible, she just needed my caring attention to give herself credit for doing so many things well.
She only kept track of what she did wrong.
