Book Reviews of Behind the Smile: My Jurney Out of Postpartum Depression
Book Review: Voice in the Dark
Summary: 5 Stars
I suffered from PPD 17 years ago. It was easily the most frightening thing I've ever experienced. No one understood what was happening to me, least of all myself. I was so pleased that Marie was willing to share her story and help others understand and overcome PPD. I bought this book 17 years after the fact and wish I had had it or something like it all those years ago. A must buy for anyone with PPD Book Review: Great insight!
Summary: 5 Stars
The author has given several insights about how she happened to fall into such a deep drepression. Also, very helpful on how she was able to come through such an ordeal.Book Review: A Man's Point of View
Summary: 5 Stars
First, as a fan, I willingly disclose that I purchased the book because it was about Marie. I did not realize that it would have such an impact.I discovered that some of the PPD symptoms were similar to severe PMS symptoms my wife had been suffering from for 20 years. Because of the treatment options suggested by Dr. Moore I was able to make an appointment for my wife, and thanks to the treatment and supplements, the physical symptoms all but vanished.
I am now divorced, and on a recent re-read of the book, I was surprised to find myself relating to Marie's feelings of guilt and loss of self-esteem connected with her PPD. The poem at the end of her section of the book has had a profound effect on me as I work to deal with the effects of my divorce.
This book will always have a prominent place on my shelf. Thank you Marie and Dr. Judith.
Book Review: PPD is real
Summary: 5 Stars
I thank Marie Osmond for having the courage to write this book. I have been dealing with the shame, the pain, and other emotional obstacles due to PPD for the last 2 years. The tears rolled down my face as I read this book. The book validated all the emotions that I was feeling. Now that I know what it is I am dealing with I can get the help that I need to get out of this and move on with my life. Thanks Marie.Book Review: An answer to many prayers
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't read this fast enough. I laughed and cried for so many reasons! Ahhh...to be feel not alone! The only bad thing is that the copy I read was a library book...now that it is returned, I can't refer to it like I need to. The medical advice is changing the way I think about what it means to be healthy. I am buying it and recommend it to everybody I talk to. She is an angel! She is my hero! You go, Marie!
