I am a Post Natal Psychosis survivor (2010) and have had my story published last week. I am located in Sydney, Australia. Please know there is light at the end of the very dark tunnel.

My book is titled:

‘A Mother’s Mind - A Story of Post Natal Psychosis, Depression and Anxiety’

It is available at:

Hi JasmineStar,

That is amazing that you have written a book about your experience of postnatal psychosis, I really hope that it helped you in your recovery to write it. I wrote a lot about my experience, on this forum in fact, and I found it so helpful to process everything I went through.

And well done for sharing your story so publicly, it's not easy to do!

Good luck with your book!

Hi JasmineStar

Thank you so much for sharing the link to your book with us, I hope it's been a really healing part of your recovery journey to write and bring your book to publication.

Thank you too for your hopeful message to everyone in the community here. I hope the book has a big impact in Australia where I know that specialist services for perinatal mental health are much-needed.

Congratulations and thank you for sharing with us!

Warmly,

Naomi
