I hear from so many women who think that if they could just do more they would be able to get better from postpartum depression … as if it is some personal failing that they even have postpartum depression or anxiety or postpartum psychosis. If they were just stronger then this wouldn’t be an issue. If they worked out harder or were a better mother or [fill in the blank here], they could get through this on their own.

I’m calling BS on that.
