It’s unfortunate that it often takes something so life altering to be the catalyst for significant change and improvements in our world…. But to those that go through adversity, trudging through muddy and dangerous waters to then return to the starting point with the strength to not just reflect but to then begin to construct a bridge over and pave the way for others to be able to walk to the other side of that mess much easier, thank you, and well done. Our world is a better place because of you and your kindness.

Pittsburgh father Steven D’Achille lost his 30-year-old wife, Alexis, six weeks after she gave birth to their daughter, Adriana. Following a traumatic delivery, Alexis developed postpartum depression, PTSD, severe anxiety and eventually psychosis.

Steven said his family struggled to find appropriate psychiatric care for her. After her death, he founded the Alexis Joy D’Achille Foundation and partnered with Allegheny Health Network (AHN) to improve mental health care for pregnant women and new mothers.

That work helped create the Alexis Joy D’Achille Center for Perinatal Mental Health at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The 7,300-square-foot center provides a specialized mother-baby intensive outpatient program where women can receive psychiatric care, therapy and medication management while bringing their babies with them, helping prevent separation and support mother-baby bonding.

The center also provides group therapy, infant massage, baby wearing, yoga, meditation and art therapy.

A false statement like this can be incredibly damaging.

He is either incompetent or flat out lying. The website for the Centre of disease control and Mayo Clinic along with any other reputable source of information will tell you, he is grossly misinformed.

Accurate information below:

“Postpartum depression (PPD) can start during pregnancy or anytime within the first year after birth. Symptoms often begin in the first 1 to 3 weeks, peak around 2 to 6 months, and can last for several months or even years if left without care.

Onset and Duration

Baby blues: Start 2 to 3 days after birth and go away within 2 weeks.

PPD onset: Can start during pregnancy or up to 12 months after delivery.

PPD duration: Lasts longer than 2 weeks; without treatment, it can persist for 6 to 12 months or multiple years.”

“Postpartum depression only last 4 weeks”

Like really? How can you put a time frame on something Ike that…:

Robbie Williams has opened up about his recent autism diagnosis and the exhausting daily reality of hiding his true feelings from the world.

💬 "I mask, like I'm an Olympian at masking."

The 52-year-old singer was diagnosed with ADHD two decades ago but has now discovered he is also autistic.

He says the new diagnosis is a massive relief because it finally explains so much about how his mind works.

He even joked that it serves as his get-out-of-jail-free card for all the unusual things he does.

But underneath the humour, he has painted a very raw picture of what life is actually like for him in the public eye.

He recently panicked on a flight after convincing himself that his creative brain had developed telekinesis and that his intrusive thoughts could force the plane to crash itself.

Last year he also revealed his belief that he suffers from "inside Tourette's" that traps involuntary thoughts in his head.

Yet it is his experience of performing live that truly reveals the human cost of his hidden struggles.

You would assume standing in front of a stadium full of screaming fans is an incredible feeling.

He admits that whatever is inside him simply cannot hear their love.

When people ask if he is excited to go on tour, he says he is actually terrified.

"I will look full of bravado and look pompous and look smug and do these grand gestures, which have worked for me because they put my face on the poster and people still buy tickets but actually what's happening is I feel like the opposite of that all the time, most of the time."
