The Silent Epidemic Among Mothers

It is believed that up to 1 in 7 women experience postpartum depression (PPD)? Yet over 50% go undiagnosed. And worse — many never speak of it. As a doctor, I knew the textbook symptoms. As a mother, I missed them in myself. What makes PPD especially dangerous is that it’s often masked by “pretending to be normal” We keep working. We keep smiling. We keep showing up. All the while quietly drowning. But it’s not only medical treatment that may be needed. But counselling and a shift in Perspective is very vital. introspection,  practice of gratitude,  speaking to someone,  exercise, meditation reading motivational books etc are different ways to get there. That’s why I wrote The Arjuna in Me. It’s not a medical guide. It’s a mirror — for the mother, the professional, the healer, and the woman within. This Mother’s Day, if you know a colleague, patient, or friend silently struggling — Consider giving them a story that makes them feel seen. Because healing isn’t always about the medicines, it is also about the patient’s will power, determination and inner strength. The willingness to fight, the willingness to discover the inner warrior. linkThe Arjuna In Me. Buy Now
