I would like to highlight a problem that impacts one in every nine women in our Nation today: postpartum depression. As you can see on this poster, the condition can impact any mother, regardless of background or regardless of circumstance. Warning signs often include: feeling overwhelmed, changes in sleep patterns, unexplained anger, weeping or sadness, difficulty concentrating, unexplained changes in appetite, and feeling anxious or nervous. Fortunately, if you are a new mother--and you don't have to go through this alone, remember this--there are great organizations in my community in south Florida, like Postpartum Support International. They have dedicated staff and volunteers who are ready to listen, to help, and to provide you with the resources and the referrals that you need to overcome this condition and get back to enjoying your family. I would like to encourage every new mom in south Florida who may be experiencing any of these conditions to please get the help that you need now by calling 1-844-642-6667. Together, we can end postpartum depression in south Florida and, indeed, around our Nation. {time} 1030 Honoring Pepe Badia
