Alot of people are Jerks in the UK-- people in the mental health fileld are often bullies and crooks-Hurting people hurt others. People/parents do mean things or lie to manipulate. They just want the reaction so they can get high feel good from it. You have to look at the agenda and not just the words. Abuse is anything that's not uplifting so forget what truth is being used right then. They have the problem.When they or you have been thru abuse/disfunctional family/rejection/father gone it makes things start. Being a control freak, Anger, Depression, Bipolar, bullying, cutting, OCD, anxiety, panic attacks, hearing voices can all come from a tramautic past. It opens doors to the negative and things like addicitons, cravings also. You can talk to me or google "emotional abuse".Sickness can be a spiritual problem so praying to get rid of negative things of a spiritual nature is often needed from family problems.Turns out psychiatry is not based on science. Its just like a theory and a guess. See what real docs have to say below on video. There is no medical background to it at all. Psychiatrists do not draw blood to determine the presence of a biochemical imbalance in patients. They merely observe and announce the so called existence. They just desire to believe this. Mental illness does not exist by itself without a real disease so dont be called a name it is fraud.Google "Emotional Abuse" Read about bullies online.Google-"Sinners prayer"- learn that heaven awaits youGoogle- "Deliverance Prayers"http://www.ehow.com/how_4551711_deal-ver…http://www.heartless-bitches.com/rants/m…http://www.no-more-bipolar-disorder.com/…http://www.mental-health-abuse.org/psych…http://www.antipsychiatry.org/abolish.ht…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b30iwhEw9… Click my name to talk.

There is not much we can go on here... not everything you said makes sense or seems to be in context with something else you said. Perhaps it is this lack of association (that perhaps only I see) that makes you sound strange to those who don't know you and are already set in their ways (middle-aged).Have you asked the people who told you that you are insane to back their statements with proof and real arguments? From what I gather you took their word for it but no more. Perhaps asking could shed light on your situation.Assuming you really are a nutcase:I don't know what PND is, but perhaps it has lasting consequences, even solely on paper? That is in case you think the people who told you this didn't really take a look at you but instead took a look at your record and decided based on that alone.Not being able to be alone with your daughter.. could be a problem, however. Sounds serious... but it also sounds like something you need to start figuring out

I am in the mental health field and for the record, I am neither a bully or a crook.PND does present itself in a number of ways. I have met several mothers with this condition. It has often been the case that whilst mothers can often recall feeling depressed, they cannot always recall other possible aspects of their presentation (i.e. I nursed one mother who believed her child was evil and did not want anything to do with her - whilst she did not disclose any intent to harm the child, we had to assume that there was a potential risk and asked for mum to be observed when with her baby until her mental health improved). I know this may look cruel on the outside or controlling but in reality, mothers can be a risk to their babies when experiencing this cruel illness and we have to protect mother and baby. Remember of course that PND has a very good prognosis and that the 'control' should only take place when there are risks considered. The work involved is about making sure mum gets well so she can go on to enjoy her time with her baby but protecting both in the meanwhile. Who wants to see a mother go to jail for harming her child? Not us! So it is not about control for the sake of control, it is about caring and protecting until mum is well.Perhaps it would help to have a frank conversation with others to establish why you cannot be alone with your child and try to accept what people say back to you. You may not recall it, but that is not to say it did not happen. The brain is brilliant at protecting us from unpleasantness and we have mental defence mechanisms to prevent us from things we cannot cope with.Good luck though. PND has one of the best prognoses so bear with it for now and keep positive.

I think t his is all about your PND and the fear that you might pose a possible risk to the child. I think with some of the terrible things that have happened to children and been overlooked by social services they are naturally overcautious. If they were seriously worried about your mental health they would ask you to go to hospital or section you. Have patients with them. You may still be suffering from the effects of PMS. It can last for some years apparently after the birth. Good Luck and Best wishesa retired Nurse
