Jameca Woody Cooper, PhD, a psychologist and adjunct professor at Webster University, was recently quoted by the Detroit Free Press about postpartum depression, and the story was republished by USA Today.
She explains that often the feelings associated with postpartum depression begin with hormonal changes associated with estrogen and progesterone levels being the highest they’ll ever be during pregnancy.
Woody Cooper, a 2014 St. Louis American Charitable Foundation Salute to Excellence in Health Care awardee, holds a Ph.D. in Educational and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri Columbia. Her company Emergence Psychological Services has served the Saint Louis community for the past sixteen years.
