What's the outcome of postpartum depression?

Oftentimes severe: Without treatment, the worst case scenario -- harm to either self or the baby, or both; inability to function, post-partum psychosis, with delusion, and/or hallucination. It's better to get treated right away for your own and baby's sake.

Positive w treatment: With treatment, there is a very positive prognosis for complete recovery. See my soon to be released book about positive transformation following postpartum depression, "happy endings, new beginnings: navigating postpartum disorders" ( see amazon new releases).
