Book excerpt: Praise for Transformed by Postpartum Depression, Dr. Walker Ladd has forged the future for maternal mental health. Her provocative book, Transformed by Postpartum Depression, will challenge and change clini-cians, researchers, and the public. Finally, the paradigm of PPD has been broadened to include trauma and the human condition. She has exposed a missing piece of the postpartum puzzle. Thank you, Walker! -Jane Honikman, MA, Founder, Postpartum Support International Walker Ladd has achieved greatness in the PPD com-munity with her emphasis on trauma, transformation, and personal growth. What makes Transformed by Postpartum Depression so uniquely powerful is that Ladd stands in the face of preconceived notions and challenges them with the stories and voices of real women who speak the truth and deserve to be heard. The conviction of these experiences holds tremendous healing power on behalf of the PPD woman seeking support as well as valued wisdom for the clinician who is accompanying this journey. -Karen Kleiman, MSW, Founder & Director, The Postpartum Stress Center; Author, Therapy and the Postpartum Woman The beauty of Dr. Ladd's book, Transformed by Post-partum Depression, is that it is written not only for clinicians, but also for women who have suffered through postpartum depression. This book will provide much needed hope for mothers in the throes of this devastating mood disorder. The powerful narratives included in this book provide the readers with an insider's view of how mothers have been transformed by postpartum depression. -Cheryl Tatano Beck, DNSc, CNM, FAAN, Professor, School of Nursing, University of Connecticut Transformed by Postpartum Depression traces the experiences of 25 women through the trauma of postpartum depression. The impact of untreated postpartum depression is described within the context of the psychological literature on trauma and posttraumatic growth. Women describe being terrified by symptoms they didn't understand and the systemic failure of care providers to screen or treat their worsening symptoms, resulting in life threatening and life changing trauma. Interviews with leaders in the field of maternal mental health provide critical counterpoint to the concept of postpartum depression as a traumatic life event. Transformed by Postpartum Depression provides timely and insightful reflection on the state of maternal mental health in the United States. Walker Ladd, Ph.D. has been a recognized thought leader in the field of maternal mental health for nearly two decades. Her writing and research challenge current paradigms of motherhood and mental illness, using women's stories to reveal the hidden truths and extraordinary dimensions of the lived experience of motherhood. Dr. Ladd's personal experiences with traumatic childbirth, breast cancer, postpartum depression, and major depressive disorder drive her passion for her bold, soulful, and transformative work.

Book Synopsis Exploring Transformation in Postpartum Depression by : Jarrod C. Batts
Download or read book Exploring Transformation in Postpartum Depression written by Jarrod C. Batts and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many ways, this statement could define motherhood. The discrete period of time encompassing the temporal edges motherhood, 1 year before through 1 year after delivery- extends a woman quite literally beyond herself. The physical outcome is a living manifestation of a wider aspect of life, humanity, and the cosmos-her baby. The psychological outcome is traditionally compartmentalized as a reaction to the experience, ranging from joy and health, to pathos and disease. What lies in between? For nearly one in five women, the postpartum experience includes severe unhappiness (Keyes & Goodman, 2006). Depression is the second most common cause of hospitalization for all women in the U.S.; the first being childbirth (Blenning & Paladine, 2005; Gold & Marcus, 2008). Current estimates are that in the United States, postpartum depression (PPD) impacts 15% to 25% of women annually (N. Gavin et al., 2005; Wisner et al., 2013; Zittel-Palamara, Cercone, & Rockmaker, 2009).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this debut memoir, Courtney Novak shares her journey through the darkness of postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety and postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder. She describes her symptoms, including insomnia, guilt, and intrusive thoughts about throwing her baby. Courtney shares candidly how difficult it was for her to realize she had a maternal mood disorder. At four months postpartum, Courtney finally found the courage to talk to her obstetrician and voluntarily admitted herself to the hospital for psychiatric care. Four days later, she was discharged and felt like a new woman - but her recovery had just begun. Over the next several months, Courtney worked with a psychologist to untangle her postpartum anxiety and OCD. She connected with moms in her community and learned that by sharing her story, she could defeat the shame she had initially experienced from having a mental illness. Although this memoir describes the darkness of postpartum depression, Courtney's story is ultimately uplifting and inspiring. If you or a loved one have been touched by a maternal mood disorder, this book will help you understand and process the experience.

Book Synopsis The Birth Of A Mother by : Daniel N Stern
Download or read book The Birth Of A Mother written by Daniel N Stern and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 1998-12-03 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As you prepare to become a mother, you face an experience unlike any other in your life. Having a baby will redirect your preferences and pleasures and, most likely, will realign some of your values.As you undergo this unique psychological transformation, you will be guided by new hopes, fears, and priorities. In a most startling way, having a child will influence all of your closest relationships and redefine your role in your family's history. The charting of this remarkable, new realm is the subject of this compelling book.Renowned psychiatrist Daniel N. Stern has joined forces with pediatrician and child psychiatrist Nadia Bruschweiler-Stern and journalist Alison Freeland to paint a wonderfully evocative picture of the psychology of motherhood. At the heart of The Birth of a Mother is an arresting premise: Just as a baby develops physically in utero and after birth, so a mother is born psychologically in the many months that precede and follow the birth of her baby.The recognition of this inner transformation emerges from hundreds of interviews with new mothers and decades of clinical experience. Filled with revealing case studies and personal comments from women who have shared this experience, this book will serve as an invaluable sourcebook for new mothers, validating the often confusing emotions that accompany the development of this new identity. In addition to providing insight into the unique state of motherhood, the authors touch on related topics such as going back to work, fatherhood, adoption, and premature birth.During pregnancy, mothers-to-be talk about morning sickness and their changing bodies, and new mothers talk about their exhaustion, the benefits of nursing or bottle-feeding, and the dilemma of whether or when they should return to work. And yet, they can be strangely mute about the dramatic and often overwhelming changes going on in their inner lives. Finally, with The Birth of a Mother, these powerful feelings are eloquently put into words.

Book Synopsis Ordinary Insanity by : Sarah Menkedick
Download or read book Ordinary Insanity written by Sarah Menkedick and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking exposé and diagnosis of the silent epidemic of fear afflicting new mothers, and a candid, feminist deep dive into the culture, science, history, and psychology of contemporary motherhood Anxiety among mothers is a growing but largely unrecognized crisis. In the transition to motherhood and the years that follow, countless women suffer from overwhelming feelings of fear, grief, and obsession that do not fit neatly within the outmoded category of “postpartum depression.” These women soon discover that there is precious little support or time for their care, even as expectations about what mothers should do and be continue to rise. Many struggle to distinguish normal worry from crippling madness in a culture in which their anxiety is often ignored, normalized, or, most dangerously, seen as taboo. Drawing on extensive research, numerous interviews, and the raw particulars of her own experience with anxiety, writer and mother Sarah Menkedick gives us a comprehensive examination of the biology, psychology, history, and societal conditions surrounding the crushing and life-limiting fear that has become the norm for so many. Woven into the stories of women’s lives is an examination of the factors—such as the changing structure of the maternal brain, the ethically problematic ways risk is construed during pregnancy, and the marginalization of motherhood as an identity—that explore how motherhood came to be an experience so dominated by anxiety, and how mothers might reclaim it. Writing with profound empathy, visceral honesty, and deep understanding, Menkedick makes clear how critically we need to expand our awareness of, compassion for, and care for women’s lives.
