Dr. Dresner:
There are a lot of opportunities for sort of quick intervention and evaluation that don’t mean you have to wait till things get really bad before you see somebody for help, and I would encourage new mothers to seek out whatever resources their physicians or caregivers, their hospitals, offer for them to provide support and stabilize them shortly after their delivery.
