Very excited! Happy to share with you that I — Katherine Stone — have been selected as one of WebMD’s 2008 Health Heroes. The WebMD Health Heroes Awards are an annual, national program to recognize individuals who overcome challenges and help transform healthcare. Health Heroes are featured in WebMD the Magazine’s November/December issue and online at www.webmd.com/healthheroes.

I’m completely humbled at being honored this way, and am really hoping this shines even more light on how common perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are and how we can recover with proper care. Thank you to all the Warrior Moms who make Postpartum Progress a success!

I’m also in awe of the 3 other people who were also chosen this year (Let’s’ hear it for the girls!!) — Laura Ziskin, Jane Delgado and Winter Vinecki. Many congratulations to them and their great work!
