Prenatal Depression: Stories from the Mothers' Perspectives

Prenatal depression occurs in approximately 10% of pregnancies but often goes undetected due to the tendency to blame emotional changes on pregnancy hormones. If left untreated, prenatal depression can have far-reaching damaging effects for the mother, child and family. In this emotionally powerful video, three women share the intimate details of their personal struggles with prenatal depression and the relief they achieved through the support of their health care providers.

This program is perfect for health care and social service providers seeking to learn and understand more about the challenges facing women suffering from prenatal depression.
