 Helpful book November 24, 2008

This book is a quick and easy read. I read it after having suffered postpartum depression and was able to highlight several passages in the book of the exact things I thought, felt, or did. I only wish I had this book before I had the depression so I knew what to expect. It would have also been a valuable tool for my husband to have so he would have known what signs to look for. I would recommend it to anyone who has suffered, thinks they are suffering, or wants to know ahead of time what to look out for.

Beyond the Blues is an informative and educational tool for ALL interested in gaining or enhancing their knowledge of prenatal and postpartum depression. It's simplified and direct approach is truly appreciated. As a mom and Social Worker, I would highly recommend this book. As a matter of fact, I already do!
 Not worth the money August 5, 2008

There is nothing in this "book" that you can't get online for free or in a 500-word magazine article. I was hoping for more in-depth discussion of treatment options and the underlying risk factors for PPD. This book offers nothing more than a cursory overview of the topic. Don't waste your money.

The authors, Drs. Bennett and Indman, provide an excellent overview of perinatal mood disorders in this brief, easy-to-read but complete guide. This is a very helpful book and I recommend and share it regularly. I do wish the authors had included more information about the preventative effect of breastfeeding on women who are at risk for any degree of PPD, and wish they'd mentioned the importance of nursing for bonding with a baby even during the difficult postpartum illnesses they describe. Each woman comes into PPD and finds healing in her own time, and support and treatment are essential. For many mothers, breastfeeding through treatment is very helpful, and I felt as a nursing mom like this book really neglected that area. But overall, this book helped me a lot as a new mother, and as a peer support group facilitator as well. The Spanish version of this book is also helpful and useful in helping mothers who are "hispanoparlantes" or Spanish-speaking.
A must read..... June 8, 2008

I did not have the "baby blues" with my first child. However, I did with my second. This book helped me understand postpartum depression. I read this book in about 90 minutes. It helped me understand the different levels and severities of postpartum depression and actually helped me understand my feelings. I think all new mothers should read this book and even after the first child -read it again with next. It made me happy because I realized I'm not alone. I am 8 weeks postpartum now and feel much better. This book helped that process. I just gave my copy to an expecting mother. To me it seems like the best gift to give.
