My PPD book
My latest treatment step was to see a Functional Medecine doctor who has a more 360 approach to health. I had never heard of this specialty before. A childhood friend had recently been to one and recommended the one she’d been to and liked. I had my first appointment on December 30th with Dr L. […]
MorePlease describe your background. I was born and raised in Miami and went to North Carolina for college and medical school in Virginia. After that, I did my residency at Jackson Hospital and joined Dr Philips where I have been since. What is your experience with postpartum depression? Being in the obstetric world, it is […]
MoreIt’s been a while since I wrote a post. In part, because I was going to interview my gynecologist and he had to postpone due to a surgery he had that day and also because I was going through another strong down. They keep coming and they are hard. I always debate on whether I […]

MoreThe day I left the hospital my sister Paca landed in Miami. She arrived in the afternoon once I’d had my first psychiatrist appointment with Dr. VR. The idea was for her to stay for a week and the day she left Male would land from NY to also stay a week. They also arranged […]
MoreI haven’t posted here in a while since I was struggling with another down. I think it was related to both kids starting preschool. When I feel down a series of things happen.
