HACKETTSTOWN -- In an effort to educate New Jersey women on the signs and resources available for treating postpartum depression and other perinatal mood disorders, which can affect women before, during and after pregnancy, The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services has produced a palm card to be distributed through beauty salons, YMCAs and Jewish Community Centers across the state.

The palm card will be available at Sharon's Hairstylists, 229 Main St.

The Speak Up When You're Down palm card, available in English and Spanish, lists several of the signs of perinatal depression, which may include crying; feelings of hopelessness, guilt or worthlessness; and lack of interest in family and friends.
