For those new at following, I am a PostPardum Depression survivor. I still struggle with it but its so much better than when my baby was an infant. She's now two, and yes, its still here. The doctor has no idea when it will end for me - its different for everyone. Some people need five years to recover, some need just a few months.
I just wanted to make you all aware of a new legislation going on regarding PPD. I'm frustrated that PPD is not talked about. Its a hidden secret. The more I tell people I have it the more I hear that they are survivors! PPD affects 3 out of every 10 births! But not just births, it can affect those who've miscarried too. That's a lot of people!
Here is the link to the bill for the House
