Praeclarus Press Recognizes Mental Health Month, May 2015, with the Release of Perfect Mothers Get Depressed by Kimberly Thompson
Amarillo, Texas (PRWEB) May 13, 2015 -- Praeclarus Press is committed to producing materials dedicated to "Excellence in Women's Health," and is proud to announce the release of Perfect Mothers Get Depressed: Why trying to be perfect, not speaking up, and always trying to please everyone increases your risk of postpartum depression, by Kimberly Thompson, PhD. It is recognized in the United States that roughly 10-15% of mothers are affected by postpartum depression. As such is critical to create awareness and offer support for all who suffer. Mothers today are born into a culture laden with expectations for them. The expectations are not coupled with adequate support systems, leaving women struggling and carrying the burden of feeling as if they have failed in some ways. There is help however and a growing list of resources for women and their healthcare providers.
What happens when a mother tries to do everything right and is afraid to let others know her feelings? How do women cope when they are surrounded by others who are unsupportive? Quite simply, the risk for postpartum depression increases. Perfect Mothers Get Depressed discusses some of the common beliefs mothers have that may seem harmless enough on the surface, but can lead to depression. Based on the author’s research, the book, describes the dilemma mothers face and give mothers specific things they can do to recover.
