Did you have a Midwife that you trusted or a Health Visitor visit you at home that would know locally who would help?

Sorry to hear this Tinkerbellj - but are you sure it is PND rather than reproductive depression caused by hormones? Women whose hormonal surges and falls lead to depression tend to suffer from pms, PND and have problems around peri-menopause. It is vital that you get the hormone solution worked out first I would have thought - but of course I don't know your background.

John Studd has done a lot of work on this which you can read about here:

I've only given you the main tabs which are at the left. Each section has more detailed tabs on the right. Do have a read but of course you should also follow the advice of your doctor.

Clkd. I have spoken to three health health visitors several midwives and six doctors all who said ah sure its normal how u feel....its not! When I spoke to the locum she didnt question when I asked if it was pnd she just agreed and prescribed more ads and gabe me an open referral to psychologist.  There r several provate hospitals.here but just wondered if anyone had seem someone good

Tinker bell, I can't think of any names off hand, but if you are thinking of going down the private route, perhaps check the Ulster Independent Clinic website or 352 Kingsbridge Private hospital website.  They list all their consultants under speciality.  I hope you get sorted very soon.   The only one I would be familiar with is Dr Janine Lynch.
