Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

More than one out of 10 new mothers experience post-partum depression (PPD), yet few women seek help. After Marie Osmond, beloved singer and TV talk show host, gave birth to her seventh child (four of her children are adopted), she became increasingly depressed. One night, she handed over her bank card to her babysitter, got in her car, and drove north-with no intention of returning until she had emerged from her crisis. After she went public with her own experiences with PPD on Oprah and Larry King Live, the response was overwhelming. Now collaborating with a doctor who helped her through her ordeal, Marie Osmond will share the fear and depression she overcame, and reveal how she put it all behind her and is moving on with her life.


About the Author

Marie Osmond is an international star and was the youngest female country artist in history to debut with a #1 record. She lives in Los Angeles and Utah. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Man's Point of View, Dec 29 2003
By Robert Crump "Bob the Band Guy" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First, as a fan, I willingly disclose that I purchased the book because it was about Marie. I did not realize that it would have such an impact.

I discovered that some of the PPD symptoms were similar to severe PMS symptoms my wife had been suffering from for 20 years. Because of the treatment options suggested by Dr. Moore I was able to make an appointment for my wife, and thanks to the treatment and supplements, the physical symptoms all but vanished.

I am now divorced, and on a recent re-read of the book, I was surprised to find myself relating to Marie's feelings of guilt and loss of self-esteem connected with her PPD. The poem at the end of her section of the book has had a profound effect on me as I work to deal with the effects of my divorce.

This book will always have a prominent place on my shelf. Thank you Marie and Dr. Judith.

5.0 out of 5 stars PPD is real, Oct 9 2003
By Melanie A. Norton (Fort Worth, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
I thank Marie Osmond for having the courage to write this book. I have been dealing with the shame, the pain, and other emotional obstacles due to PPD for the last 2 years. The tears rolled down my face as I read this book. The book validated all the emotions that I was feeling. Now that I know what it is I am dealing with I can get the help that I need to get out of this and move on with my life. Thanks Marie.

5.0 out of 5 stars An answer to many prayers, Feb 27 2003
By Rachel S. (Aurora, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Behind the Smile: My Journey Out Of Postpartum Depression (Hardcover)
I couldn't read this fast enough. I laughed and cried for so many reasons! Ahhh...to be feel not alone! The only bad thing is that the copy I read was a library book...now that it is returned, I can't refer to it like I need to. The medical advice is changing the way I think about what it means to be healthy. I am buying it and recommend it to everybody I talk to. She is an angel! She is my hero! You go, Marie!
