Postpartum Depression, a catch-all term that includes anxiety and other mood disorders, is a public health problem that affects about one in 8 mothers. Women in low-income communities, especially Latinas and military moms, are at even higher risk of experiencing postpartum mood disorders. Whether you are a mom in crisis, a concerned friend or relative, or a health professional, we at Postpartum Health Alliance hope we can answer your questions and give you the assistance you require.

Testimonials

My name is Denise Jimenez. I'm 25 years old and the mother of two wonderful babies. My son, Rickey, who is 3 1/2, and my daughter she just turned one. I have been through a lot to have my kids...and never did I expect to go through even more after having them.

In 2004, I found out I was pregnant with my son. I was so happy, never did I think I would soon be fighting for my life!

I was diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia at 26 weeks. I woke up one day really sick, went to the hospital and didn't come home. I was the most critical high-risk mother-to-be. I went blind. My body was shutting down and my blood was poison.

On the fourth day of my hospital day I had my son by emergency C-section at 11:23 pm. He came home 2 months and three days later. Read More
