Helen at Lifeworks was a godsend when I was diagnosed, and helped me understand PND, from beginning and still ingoing! There is also a range of counsellors at Lifeworks who can help you out, depending on your needs! She is extremely empathetic and sympathetic and will not push meds on you unless alternative therapy has not helped. I am now on meds after seeing her regularly for 6 months in the beginning of my therapy. The meds+regular therapy sessions has changed our life as a family!

I see Dr Hassan at Medicentres Motor City, mainly because she's just down the road from me and I didn't know who else to go to. I didn't like her to start with but I'm OK with her now. Her manner can sometimes come across as arrogant and she does like to talk, but overall I'm confident in her. I do like the way she constantly reiterates that PPD is so biological and due to chemical imbalances in your brain, so it makes you feel slightly less like you're nuts! I've heard good things about a lady called Helen, I think at Lifeworks (I'll double check) if you're also looking for a counsellor. I used to see a lady at Medicentres but she's left now. If you just want a chat about it over a cuppa I know plenty of people who've been there and are happy to lend an ear, me included :).
