In Walker Karraa’s Transformed by Postpartum Depression: Women’s Stories of Trauma and Growth the impact of postpartum depression and its pervasiveness in the lives of women in the United States and around the world is discussed. Karraa discusses the background, methodology, findings, and interpretations of the qualitative research she conducted on 20 women who had given birth and struggled with postpartum depression based in the United States.
This study explored the experiences of women who self-identify with the term “postnatal depression” and have accessed NHS services for treatment. This research gives a voice to these women and hopes to better understand how to work psychologically with them.
