Dr. Dalton give the true reason for PPD. She understands that PPD is a physical disorder of the hormones rather than a mood disorder that psychiatrists treat with suppressive drugs and electroshock. My sister had severe PPD. If I had had this book, I could have saved her life. Instead, she was put on drugs that actually made the problem worse. Dr. Dalton has respect for women and their unique hormonal biology and gives real answers to very important questions.
