What I Unlearned about Postpartum Depression

They told me in my doula training that Postpartum Depression and Maternal Mental Health Disorders can take many different forms. I learned that it could happen to anyone. They told me that in some cases, mental health disorders took years to resolve. When I had my son in 2018, I felt prepared to become a parent. We had the support of loving doulas, wonderful midwives, and family. What could go wrong? Postpartum Depression wasn’t going to happen to me… But then it did.
