The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) have partnered with one of the nation’s largest African-American women’s organizations, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (DST), to create the Mental Health Across the Lifespan Initiative. This initiative seeks to raise awareness about issues affecting women and their families throughout the lifespan, including mental disorders like postpartum depression (PPD). Learn more....

Watch this video on (PPD) that was developed for the initiative. PPD is a mood disorder that can affect women shortly before or soon after childbirth, but commonly begins within a month after delivery. This under-recognized and under-treated disorder can affect any woman of childbearing age. The video provides patient testimony and information on the signs and symptoms of PPD and reinforces the importance of seeking help and treatment from a health professional.
