Should I laugh!!!!
It seems like now most women who experience Post Natal Illness have mostly abandoned the term PND it has been claimed by a group of women experiencing depression!

for articles about the new PND - 'post-nuptial depression.'
This was a new one on me - pointed out by a male friend.
On the one hand it is quite funny - but on the other it while I am sure that like any life changing even - marriage like any other can de- stabilize or distress some people, especially given the big build up and expectations of many marriages these day sand the amount of money some people spend on it .
It is a lot to live up to and I am sure the reality of marriage can lead to depression for a few.
But on the other hand by using a term traditionally used by society to describe the much more specific and devastating illness that many women tragically suffer after giving birth.
Could be trivializing the harsh reality of PNI as it affects many women
just thoght I woud pass this on
