Description
Fine (Not Fine) Perspectives and Experiences of Postnatal Depression by Bridget Hargreave This book sheds light on postnatal depression, an illness affecting four in ten new mothers, which remains stigmatised and misunderstood. The author shares her own experiences with depression following the birth of her sons, as well as those of a diverse group of mothers struggling with perinatal mental health problems. The stories collected here are powerful and honest accounts of the devastating impact of these conditions on women's lives. From a mother who was hospitalised with severe depression to one whose birth trauma triggers anxiety at the mere mention of certain words, each story offers a unique perspective on this hidden epidemic. Through a series of interviews with mental health professionals and charities campaigning for change in perinatal care, Fine (Not Fine) reveals the remarkable people fighting against these conditions.
