Description: "The text treats postnatal depression as a hormonal rather than a psychological disease and has now been extensively updated, and includes many new chapters drawing on the latest scientific findings. Included are new chapters on careers and motherhood, coping with stress, a look at the role the partner can play, and the effects on them of PND, and a chapter examining maternal behaviour in animals. The result is a book that will be essential for many women and those around them to help them through this difficult time."--Jacket.
