Why do I care? “Why do I care? Why do I care about mothers who experience suffering, grief and despair when they should be experiencing joy and happiness on the birth of a beautiful new baby? Why do I care about mothers that I don’t know, that may come from different backgrounds than I do, that may never know my name? Because I am one of them; because I know their pain and share their grief and despair. Because I lived it and I don’t want any other new mother to live it. That’s why I care.” — Mary, a postpartum depression survivor and a volunteer at the Postpartum Resource Center of New York. You may not know Mary, but you have something in common with her — you care about moms, dads and families at risk for or experiencing a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder, including postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis.
