Postnatal depression (PND) is a term most people are familiar with, but it’s also a condition that’s hard to envision unless you’ve been through it. It happens to women shortly after they give birth, turning what should be one of the happiest times of their life into a time of depression and anxiety.
It is a sad fact that we live in a world filled with discrimination and stigma. It is everywhere, up every street and around every corner, causing hurt and impacting on so many people’s lives. Gender, sexuality, race, colour, disability, to name but a few, are all discriminated against and come with stigma attached. I personally believe that a lot of this is due to naivety, lack of understanding and fear of the unknown.
