There was a time, not so long ago, when people did not assume Tom Cruise and his “there is no such thing as postpartum depression” rant was not so crazy. We still have mountains to climb in increasing awareness about Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders, training appropriate medical providers on risk factors, early warning signs, and effective treatment, and lowering the stigma of these illnesses. But we are making progress.
And this fabulous program at the University of Carolina is one of the many steps in the right direction. Watch the NBC story and video here. Three big, fat cheers for that!
