After the birth of my first baby I suffered from terrible postpartum anxiety and depression. I cycled through several other psychiatrists who seemed to know nothing about PPD and were not at all helpful. Luckily a friend referred Dr. Wendy Hookman who saved me from the depths of my severe anxiety. Dr. Hookman was so confident and knowledgeable that she immediately put me at ease and comforted me. I felt so relieved that I was in good hands and that she knew exactly what to do. Over the next several weeks she guided me through therapy and medication, which not only resolved my anxiety, but helped me with other normal issues that come with new motherhood. Twenty two years later, Dr. Hookman is still an important person in my life. She is the calm voice of reason and constant support that has helped me through other challenging times. I highly recommend her, she is brilliant.
