My topic is Postpartum depression in the media, specifically television and how Postpartum is never talked about. However on the rare occasion that it is discussed it is connected to murdering your children or having similar thoughts. Postpartum is a serious form of depression and should be treated as such, not all women want to hurt their children, that is usually not as common. Most feelings are about being overwhelmed, not a good mother, or lacking the energy to do the things you know should be done. I have chose a clip of Tom Cruise speaking about Postpartum with Matt Lauer, where he speaks about Brook Sheilds being treated with medication of this illness.

I have worked with many children whose mother's suffer from this illness and it amazed me over and over again how ignorant people are about this issue.
