PNDSA [Post Natal Depression Support Association] is a non-profit making association started by women who have recovered from Postnatal Depression. We are dedicated to supporting other women who may be going through the same experience and making it easier for them to find help. We are committed to increasing public awareness and educating health professionals on how to identify and treat ante- and post natal depression.
PNDSA was founded in order:
To break the conspiracy of silence about mood disorders associated with childbirth.
To de-stigmatize perinatal depression and anxiety.
To educate and sensitize the professional community and the general public regarding the facts about ante- and post-natal mood disorders.
To give hope to those who suffer from mood disorders around the time of childbirth, and to assist them and their families in receiving help.
To give support to those who are experiencing depression and anxiety during pregnancy and after delivery, and to hasten their recovery by referring them to experienced health professionals for medication and other appropriate treatment.
To provide, wherever possible, information, empathic counseling, and social and group support.
To train health professionals and lay support providers in how to identify and give support for perinatal illness.
To spread the message to those who suffer from ante- and postnatal depression and anxiety that:
1. You are not alone
2. You are not to blame
3. You are entitled to help
4. You will recover
