Suffering in Silence – Why don’t more women seek help for postnatal depression?
A report from the charity, 4Children, says that a chronic lack of awareness of the symptoms of postnatal depression is leading to as many as 35,000 women suffering in silence each year. Forty nine percent of women affected did not seek any professional treatment at all.
