When the Bough Breaks: A Documentary About Postpartum Depression(2017)

When the Bough Breaks is a documentary that examines postpartum depression and perinatal mood disorders, conditions that affect one in five new mothers. Actress Tanya Newbould, who experienced PPD after her daughter's birth, partnered with director Jamielyn Lippman to investigate an illness she initially didn't understand. The film follows Lindsay Gerszt, who agreed to document her own struggle with postpartum depression and her path to recovery. Through candid interviews and intimate footage, the documentary reveals how warning signs go unrecognized, how stigma silences women, and why maternal mental health remains critically overlooked. The three women at the film's center work to break the silence surrounding a condition that devastates families and, in severe cases, claims lives. Their journey offers insight, compassion, and a call for greater awareness and support.
