This Isn't What I Expected
Overcoming Postpartum Depression

Karen Kleiman, MSW and Valerie Raskin, MD (Bantam, 1994)

*As seen on Oprah!

  • What can I do about the terrible, scary thoughts I'm having?

  • My baby is almost 8 months old... could this still be PPD?

  • Can I take medication and still breastfeed?

  • How can I help my husband understand?

  • How can I possibly take care of my baby if I can't take care of myself?

  • What if I can't even get through the day?

  • I love my baby so much, but I'm so scared of being alone. What if I make a mistake or do something terrible?

  • Everyone says this is normal. But I just don't feel like myself at all. Will I ever feel like my self again?

An excellent addition to the literature on postpartum depression- a vastly underdiagnosed condition in new mothers. Kleiman and Raskin provide much needed sound porfessional advice to women with PPD and their families. Best of all, they give not only explanations, but explore options and suggest self-help measures. This book will be a major resource to patients, familes and healthcare practitioners.
