Just a quick thought on the mom who has been PPD'd for the last 7 months.  I
agree that there is probably another issue here since any of the common meds
for this problem are not working.  Has anyone thought of or has she been
tested for thyroid problems?  PPD often times mirrors the symptoms of thyroid
disfunction,  and it is possible that this could be her problem, it can get
very severe.  I'd be interested in knowing what her TSH level is.  Just a
thought.  I see many mom's who once they have their level checked, find out
that it is a hormonal imbalance.
