I hope this will help new moms not feel alone or desperate, and that there is no shame in their feelings. PPD is out of their control, but the treatment and healing process is not.

This quote is encouraging mothers who have postpartum depression (PPD) to know they are not alone, and that they should not feel ashamed or desperate. PPD is something they cannot control, but they can take steps to get better and to heal from it. This quote is reminding new moms that although they may not be able to stop PPD from happening, they can work to recover and get better. In other words, even though PPD is difficult, it does not have to define their life, as there are treatments out there that can help and that getting help does not mean failure.
