Tamworth Post Natal Depression Support Group

Post Natal Depression affects 15 per cent of all new mothers and it is largely overlooked by Health Professionals and people involved with caring for young families.

Mothers are the lynchpin of families, and the mental health of a mother consequently affects so many more people.

All the volunteers from our support group have suffered previously from PND, from our own experience we know how we’ve been treated, how symptoms have been ignored or overlooked even by our own GPs. We know that the earlier PND is detected, the quicker it can be treated and the less affects this will have on the children and other members of the family, and consequently, less of a drain on the NHS!
