@PNDandMe As a people we should work harder to encourage the masses to do away with the old traditional myths so that they can be able to seek perinatal health services

Myths and Stigma about perinatal mental illnesses can be the difference between someone reaching out for help and a child growing up without a parent. Society as a whole absolutely must work towards reducing stigma of these illnesses. #PNDHour
