I'm getting back into the groove after being back on the East Coast for a few days, so I'll just point out two awesome news stories:
The first is the creation of UNC's Center for Women's Mood Disorders (bonus -- UNC is my college alma mater). It includes the first freestanding inpatient perinatal psychiatry unit in the country. The unit is specially designed for new mothers, with things like rocking chairs, breast pumps, and extended visiting hours so that moms and babies can maintain a close bond even while a mother is hospitalized.
On a related note, I also read that Kendra Wilkinson is doing well two years after her bout with postpartum depression and is raising awareness for other women struck by the disorder. See here for an article about her recovery.
