Postpartum Progress is an invaluable resource for women (and their families) who are suffering or have suffered from a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder. Although I did not come across them until after my journey with postpartum OCD, postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression. It wasn't until I found Postpartum Progress that I was able to figure out that I also suffered from antenatal anxiety (anxiety occurring during my pregnancy) that went completely undiagnosed. I now utilize Postpartum Progress to help advocate for other women and their families, who are suffering or who have suffered, to educate others and to help rid the stigma attached to maternal mental disorders. Just a few interesting facts...
- 15-20% of all women will get a perinatal mood or anxiety disorder like postpartum depression or postpartum anxiety. That’s 1 in every 7 each year, nearly 1 million more than the number of women who will get breast cancer each year.

-100,000 people a year (men AND women) get multiple sclerosis, and that the National MS Society's annual Bike MS event raises $83 million each year to support them? In contrast, nearly 1 million women in the US get PPD each year -ten times as many as get MS and there is no national organization in our country dedicated to perinatal mood and anxiety disorders with a budget larger than $500,000.

Postpartum Progress saves lives and gives women who are suffering hope and those who have suffered (Warrior Moms) a platform to educate and advocate for others!!!!
