Depression is an incapacitating moral sufferance that disturbs one’s relationships with family and friends and disrupts professional life. Depressive episodes can last over variable lengths of time. However when depression lasts longer than two years, we call it chronic depression.

Pregnancy is a period of deep changes, both physical and psychological. Whilst it is often a period of great happiness, it can also be a time when doubts and fears arise; particularly around the moment of giving birth.
