Book Description
A Mother’s Tears presents a caring and knowledgeable picture of postpartum depression. Psychologist Arlene M. Huysman explains the very real hormonal and emotional causes of what was once dismissed as the "baby blues," defines who is at risk, and shows readers how to recognize the illness. She also describes proper treatment, explains how to make sure one’s doctor is an ally, and discusses how family can help new mothers get well again. This primer on the causes and cures of this common but long-misunderstood illness contains a new chapter presenting the most up-to-date research and developments.

Product Reviews:

If you're looking for help, look elsewhere
This is a great informational book. I'd highly recommend it to OB/GYNs and health care providers. It is not a self-help supplement to therapy or treatment.

Denouncing the tendency to criminalize affected mothers ( mwbookrevw )
The Postpartum Effect: Deadly Depression In Mothers by Arlene Huysman (a practicing clinical psychologist specializing in mood disorders) cites and explains a specifically defined clinical depression experienced by some mothers who are so stricken with this devastating condition that they were tempted to harm themselves or their children. Huysman also cites and explains common misconceptions about what can be a quite severe illness arising from the aftermath of giving birth. Denouncing society's tendency to criminalize affected mothers, The Postpartum Effect is a profound and welcome contribution to Parenting Studies, Health and Medicine Studies, and Psychology Studies dealing with Postpartum Depression.
