Many more may experience depression during pregnancy, postpartum anxiety, OCD, and other mood disorders. Postpartum depression is, in fact, the most common pregnancy-related complication-yet confusion and misinformation about this disorder are still widespread. And these aren't harmless myths: the lack of clarity surrounding mothers' mental health challenges can have devastating effects on their well-being and their identities as mothers, which too often leads to shame and inadequate treatment.

Powerful and inspiring, Mothering Through the Darkness</em> will comfort every mother who's ever felt alone, ashamed, and hopeless-and, hopefully, inspire her to speak out.</p>
