(Dec. 3) - An online survey of working moms showed that an overwhelming 91 percent suffered some symptoms of depression, according to the editor-in-chief of Working Mother magazine, Suzanne Riss.
Riss recently spoke with CNN about the trend she called "an epidemic."
"We were surprised by the volume," she said of the 500 moms who responded to the survey. While many people are familiar with postpartum depression in the months after giving birth, Riss said, "people don't really think about the fact that a couple of years later a lot of women are experiencing depression." And some even experience it a decade into their children's lives.
The survey, featured here, was posted as part of a Working Mother magazine story on mothers and depression.
