From the Author
Its been 5 years since my experience with "Postpartum Depression," the words still haunt me. You ARE Loved
Being a man, I cannot directly relate to the underlying insidiousness of this disease. What I can understand and appreciate is that it took great courage for Sheila McDonald to bare her innermost feelings on this subject of Postpartum Depression. Sheila, I'm sure it will help countless others who share your pain, just to realize they are not alone. Thank you for sharing. Our best wishes for your complete recovery.

Only a few mothers have exposed their terrifying Journey!

A wonderful resource
"Beyond the Blues" is a wonderful resource.After discovering the book, I immediately ordered several more copies to share with counseling and lactation colleagues and with families in my practice.Everyone loves it!It is clearly written and easy to read with helpful information readily accessible.It is also written with compassion and filled with practical wisdom. Valuable book--I wish it had been printed earlier
My sister suffered from undiagnosed postpartum depression after the births of both her children.She and her family would have been spared so much suffering if this book had been available.Thank you, Mrs. Indman and Dr. Bennett, for helping countless women and their loved ones with this invaluable manual.

A mom who has experienced Postpartum Depression
I believe this book is very well written. As someone who has experienced postpartum depression. I believe this book would have been very beneficial to Obgyn's, Nurse Practitioners and all who care for childbearing women. I also believe that myself and my family did not have suffer if people were more aware. This book is very concise and easy to understand. Dr. Bennett and Mrs. Indman have done a outstanding job to help and bring Postpartum Depression to the forefront. Thank you to you both. ... Read more

Postpartum Disorders
Everyone told Sandra she would be happy. People described in rapt detail the overwhelming feeling of love and purpose that would envelope her at her dauther's birth. Nothing prepared Sandra for the heavy fog of dread and loss that descended upon her in the delivery room on the day she gave birth. When the nurse handed her the crying, bruised, purple-pink bundle, Sandra had to fight the urge to hand the bundle back and run. She wanted to turn the clock back nine months before any of this had happened. When she did spend time with her daughter, instead of singing soothing lullabies, Sandra found herself whispering, "I hate you. I wish you had never been born."

A very good book that looks at a very distrubed person
I read this book because it was a list of good reads. I felt it was. The topic is horrofic. How can a mother do this to her children? You get a sense that the author tries to be objective as possible with the reason. The author I also felt does a good job of pointing out the inconsisties with the time line with the attornies as a well as when Andrea Yates was on medication. She also does a fair job of looking at the story after the verdict. Overall I felt it was a fair balanced book contray to what others think. She presents the facts and details as objectively as she can and lets the readers make up their mind.

WHERE IS ANN RULE WHEN YOU NEED HER?
Having read St. Martin's rush-to-press book, "Breaking Point," as soon as it hit the stands, I was disappointed with O'Malley's long-awaited book about the Andrea Yates tragedy. Whereas Spencer interviewed relatives, friends, and acquaintances, O'Malley relied heavily on court transcripts and seemed to take a point of view from a telescope.
Good book but a slow read
I am almost finished with the book but it's taking me time to read it as it's not the kind of book you can read quickly.I'm anxious to see how it ends. I would rather have reviewed it after I finish it.I think the book is probably going to get better closer to the end then I am. ... Read more
