Mental Health: Postpartum Depression is 'Under-Recognized and Under-Treated,' NIMH Says (VIDEO)

Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that can affect any woman of childbearing age.

For immediate help in a crisis situation, the National Institute of Mental Health recommends calling 911 (in the United States) or the toll-free, 24-hour National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255). A Lifeline Chat is also available at this link.
