DALLAS _ Sandra Poulin couldn't have been more thrilled when she found out she was expecting.

Then, when Rachel was born in 1996, the Dallas mom, who had always thought of herself as a happy person, couldn't sleep and began crying for no reason.

Relief didn't begin until she learned about postpartum depression, or PPD, and realized that she was among the 15 percent of new mothers affected by it.

"I didn't even know it existed," Poulin said. "For most women, it's not something they talk about."
