Who am I?

Katherine Stone suffered postpartum obsessive compulsive disorder with the birth of her son in 2001. She is now an advocate for women with postpartum mood disorders, primarily through her blog Postpartum Progress, the most widely-read blog in the United States on these illnesses, which include postpartum depression, postpartum OCD and postpartum psychosis. Her articles on PPD have appeared in such places as Newsweek magazine (July 7, 2004) and www.womenshealth.gov, a U.S. Department of Health & Human Services website (October 2005). She is also a Guest Editor on the topic of postpartum depression at BlogHer (www.blogher.org), and has appeared on CNN.com, Yahoo! and E! News Online. Prior to becoming a full time advocate and stay-at-home mom, Stone spent 7 years in marketing at The Coca-Cola Company, most recently as Director of Experiential Marketing. Her first blog, Decent Marketing, was named a "Best Business Blog: Women at Work" by Fast Company magazine. She lives in the Atlanta area with her husband, 6-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter
