Suffering from postnatal depression, I struggled to seek out helpA MUM of eight who recovered from postnatal depression after the birth of her sixth child that saw her hospitalised for three months is now committed to helping others. She’s from a family of eight herself, and when she moved in with Marcus aged 18, they knew they wanted a family — but thought perhaps four or five children. I had five children already and I knew I was very lucky so felt I couldn’t tell anyone. “Then, one day, when he was around three months old, I broke down at home and rang my local GP clinic and the receptionist told me to come straight in. The couple don’t have any additional childcare, with husband Marcus helping out on the days when Teresa is working as a Slimming World Consultant.
