Chat with an expert!

If you have questions about PPD, either because you are concerned about yourself or a loved one, or want to know more as a provider, there is a wonderful free service offered by Postpartum Support International.  You can talk with a PPD expert about resources, symptoms, options and general information about perinatal mood disorders from the privacy of your own home, thanks to toll-free informational sessions.   You won't need to pre-register or even give your name, if it's important to you to remain anonymous. These sessions are held on Wednesdays at either 3pm or 9pm EST.  Dad Chat sessions are on Monday nights.  They are limited to the first 15 callers. For the call schedule and access codes you'll need to participate, visit www.postpartum.net or call 1-800-944-4773

MedEdPPD.org is a consumer and professional education, peer-reviewed Web site developed with the support of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to foster the education of primary care providers (pediatricians, family physicians, obstetricians, psychiatrists, nurses, physician's assistants, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, social workers) who treat women who have or are at risk for postpartum depression (PPD).  For consumers there is accurate information, videos of women speaking about their experiences, and support for the family. I am proud to have been a part of the creation of this site.
