"I wish someone had said 'I believe you' when I told them about my struggles.

I wish others had been willing to listen and had been aware enough of what postpartum mood disorders are to tell me I wasn’t imagining it all, and that I was going to get better.

I just needed the right help."

- Adriene Nieves, Postpartum Depression in Women of Color
