Postpartum Stress Syndrome

Picking through "This Isn't What I Expected", I was looking over the spectrum, particularly Postpartum Stress Syndrom (adjustment disorder) and wondered more concretely how you differentiate between PPSS vs. PPD, PPA, etc.

Home Visits

Alright clinicians, another question for you. What are your thoughts about home visits with PPD clients? I was thinking about Midwives and doulas often followup on the mother/father after the birth of the baby and have been thinking about the pros and cons of this. Thoughts?

Diagnosing

Hey all--

Just wondering how you are diagnosing PPD when dealing with the insurance companies. I've always been concerned about diagnosing as it is something that follows them and can haunt their future insurance coverage. I have a client who definitely has PPD, has insurance, needs help.

Thanks,
Kristin

Support Groups/ Community Outreach

Hi there!
I am so glad to see this blog up! I was thinking about starting a support group for PPD and was wondering what sort of models people have used? Also, have been thinking about doing some outreach trainings in the community at Mommy and Me's or similar venues- any ideas about formats for these would be appreciated. Would love to hear what you are all doing'?
