　　It should be a time of joyous anticipation–the happiest time

in a woman’s life. But for many women, the joys of pregnancy are

clouded by feelings of fear, sadness, and confusion. And unlike

postpartum depression, which is widely portrayed in the media and

embraced by the medical community, depression during pregnancy has

been rarely discussed and often misunderstood–until now. In this

groundbreaking book–the first to focus exclusively on depression in

pregnancy–Dr. Shaila Kulkarni Misri, a leading reproductive

psychiatrist, draws on her twenty-five years of clinical practice

and research to offer hope, help, and healing–as well as a

provocative, myth-shattering examination of a subject that has too

long been shrouded in darkness.

The numbers are surprising: up to 70 percent of pregnant women

experience some degree of depressive symptoms, and of those, 12

percent meet the diagnostic criteria for major depression. Although

it is at least as common as postpartum depression, which occurs

after a child’s birth, pregnancy-related depression is often

cloaked in silence, shame, and denial. Pregnancy Blues lifts the

veil on this heartbreaking–and very treatable–

illness, examining the key social and biological factors that can

come together during pregnancy to create a climate in which

depression and anxiety thrive, as well as offering the many

effective treatments that are available. Discover:

? How to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression–and know

when to seek help

? The role of female hormones: why women are more vulnerable to

depression than men

? How depression can “hide” behind physical complaints, such as

back, stomach, or even chest pain

? The unspoken connection between infertility and

depression

? The antidepressant controversy: the facts on specific drugs,

their safety–and when medication is the right choice

? Breastfeeding and medication–the risks and benefits

Plus helpful self-tests and resources, information on alternative

treatment options–from therapy to acupuncture–and much more. A work

of daring and compassion, Pregnancy Blues challenges the underlying

traditions and beliefs surrounding pregnancy and motherhood–and

explores how those misconceptions have led to the drastic

underdiagnosis and undertreatment of depression during pregnancy. A

must-read for women and those who love them, Pregnancy Blues is at

once an extraordinary roadmap to healing and an eye-opening report

on a medical issue that no woman can afford to miss.
