About

Nearly 1 million women each year suffer from postpartum depression.  In fact, more women will have a mental illnesses related to pregnancy & childbirth annually than the combined number of new cases of stroke and breast cancer.

And it’s not just moms who suffer.  Each year, the future health of at least 1 million of America’s children is at stake too.  Children whose mothers’ PPD goes untreated have a high risk for future learning and behavioral problems, as well as future psychiatric illness themselves.

Despite this fact, only 15% of women with PPD ever receive professional help. We can fix this.  Please help us.
