A Deeper Shade of Blue

First Thursday is a program from MedEdPPD.org. On the first Thursday of every month, registered users can participate in live teleconferences on various PPD topics and have the opportunity to address their questions to PPD experts like Katherine Wisner and Margaret Spinelli.

In addition, downloadable PowerPoint slides for each teleconference will be available in advance. After the teleconference is completed, the recording will be archived on the site.

On February 7, 2008, Dr. Margaret Spinelli will be talking about “Postpartum Psychosis and Infanticide”.

Here are the topics of some previous teleconferences:
