My DD has been suffering from PND since the birth of her lovely dd.
She hasn't wanted to admit to it and has been self medicating by smoking dope (which has only made matters worse IMO).
I am working full time but I have tried my best to support her with daily phone calls, visits and but having the kids a lot of the time I am not at work to give her a break, I just don't have the time to do any more for her.
Yesterday things came to a head with her and she became suicidal, I landed up calling the dr because I wanted the dr to see her at her worst and to try to get dd to admit to how low she was feeling. After much talking dd admitted how she was feeling and the dr told her to see the gp today.
What can she expect from the gp? What help is there available? What about anti-depressants, are they a good thing or bad?
As you may be able to tell I have had no experience of this before and I really would appreciate some advice?
