Post Natal Depression Awareness Fortnight
Tue, 22/07/2008 - 9:11pm — committee1In April, our Fundraising Secretary Karen, organised a door to door and an on street collection. After braving the elements around Tamworth Karen, Mel and Lisa raised over £85 in total.
The money will go towards the running of our group. As people gave us money, it soon became apparent that a lot of people in Tamworth have had their lives affected by post natal depression, whether themselves or their daughter.
We would like to thank everyone who donated money and kept our spirits high through the wet weather!
Despite doctor's concern's many pregnant women still demand anti depressants.

"One night I considered jumping off the top of my apartment building while my husband and baby slept," she tells ParentDish in an e-mail.
The next morning, she asked her husband for help.
I had postnatal depression, while my wife was fine
Mon, 07/06/2010 - 12:22pm — committee4Baby Jem was a few weeks old when his father, Adam Carpenter, turned to wife Vicki and confessed tearfully: 'I don't think I love him.'
He felt he was going through the motions and did not want to spend time with his son, writes Hilary Freeman.
Three years on and Adam, 35, a writer from Helston in Cornwall, is a devoted dad and now knows that he was suffering from a male form of the baby blues, or postnatal depression (PND).
A report published last week concluded that one in ten new dads may get the baby blues, with most cases undetected and untreated.
