IT’S A WILD WORLD: HOW TO WORK WELL IN AN UNJUST SOCIETYSo many of us work in organizations or regularly interface with institutions that were simply not built with us in mind. The resultant friction poses an obstacle to our career longevity. A CallingI have this vivid memory from the year 2000, when I was an intern.

Then she watched herself birthing her oldest son, Zane, who had died by suicide in 2017 at age 18. His birth had been a particularly difficult and dangerous one, and his death created a lasting trauma -- but now all she felt was overwhelming love and joy. She soaked in the beauty of the scene.

The current popular notion is that postpartum depression (PPD) cannot be prevented. Rather, it can only be diagnosed with an Edinburgh test once the patient has PPD. Often PPD is considered to be both surprising and mysterious. In reality, it is neither. PPD is nothing new. We’ve known about it for years.
