One Mother's Story about Postpartum Depression
Read the attached story then answer the following questions in a Google Doc and share with me.
1. What are some clues (symptoms) that would lead you to believe that this is postpartum depression?
2. This marriage did not survive the postpartum depression. What could a father do to assist in helping a new mother who suffers from postpartum depression?
3. Every year, many women suffer postpartum depression. Some infants are affected by the physical effects such as shaking, abuse, and at worst, death. In this case, the child was ignored and neglected. How can emotional abuse affect a child as he/she grows up?
4. Think about this particular mother’s story and others that you may have read or heard about. How does society view a mother who harms or even kills her child while suffering from postpartum depression?
5. What do you think the mother means by her statement that “Things have changed and I am here today to be the best mother I can be?”
