QUESTION:
Dear Dr. Heller,
My wife just gave birth to our third child. I believe she is dealing with post-partum challenges. What can I do as a husband to help and where can I get more information on this specific topic (web or book)?
ANSWER:
I'm not familiar with any specific book or resource. I lost an aunt to this
disorder.
The two areas that offer the most promise to me are a temporary low thyroid condition -
which has been shown in the literature lately and is diagnosable with a blood test, and
treating all the diagnoses that were present prior to the pregnancy. My screening test may be of help to you with that.
