Deep sigh - this is public. I've been to the GP, and diagnosed with post natal depression (PND). I saw somebody I trust and who has seen me through two pregnancies. Having prepared an extremely thorough history certainly helped get me through the appointment; I was overcome and unable to speak at first. It seems that I'm doing all the right self-

shouldn't be a too long wait. my two appts came in within 8 weeks and they start some treatments straight away.

I'm sorry about the PND, but glad you're able to get the help you need. I wish we had socialised medicine in the United States; our health care "system" is ridiculously arcane and complicated, and at least 47 million people have fallen through the cracks. Anyway, sometimes people do need pharmacological help; I'm about to start taking paroxetene myself, also the lowest possible dose. Good luck :)

Good for you. I'm so glad you saw someone! I fight depression generally and it can really mess up your thinking-I am SO glad you've got your safety net! ((((((((((((((You))))))))))))))))

I'm glad you're getting help for that. *hugs* Glad to hear that GP is someone you trust, as well. That's important.
