If you are outside of the UK – you can contact Postpartum Support International (PSI) on the following website: postpartum.net. The Association provides a telephone helpline, information leaflets for sufferers and healthcare professionals as well as a network of volunteers (telephone and postal), who have themselves experienced postnatal illness.
For a printed information pack send a s.a.e. to:- 145 Dawes Road, Fulham, London, UK, SW6 7EB or click on Leaflets on PNI for more information about PNI. The work of the Association is essential as post-natal illness affects between 70,000 and 100,000 women and their babies in the UK every year. It is rightly called ‘the silent epidemic’.
You can safely call any of these numbers and speak to a sympathetic advisor. These people may not be expert in matters relating to post-natal depression but they will listen to your concerns and do what they can to help you.
