The delusion became real to her and at that point she became so impaired that she could not even recognize her doctor, who dialed 911. Following the birth of her son, Jennifer began a downward spiral of sleepless nights, gripping fear that someone would harm her or her baby, and irrational distrust of everyone including her husband. Often misunderstood and misdiagnosed this disease impacted not just Jennifer herself, but her beloved family as well. May it bless all who read it.In this heartrending memoir told through memories, journals and medical records, one woman, Jennifer Hentz Moyer, shares her incredible journey into and out of postpartum psychosis. I hope my book can be a contribution in increasing awareness, proper treatment and prevention. It is so important that maternal mental health as well as mental health, in general, be addressed. I hope you consider reading the book, which is available in paperback and now also in Kindle/ebook format.
I provided links below for you to review. The message is to not give up and to let others know that there is help, there is hope and you are not alone. My goal in writing the book is to bring hope and inspiration to others facing challenges whether in the area of mental health or just life, in general. I am grateful that the book now is in the hands of others. I am a believer that if something is meant to happen, it will but it may not happen as you expect or in the time frame you would like. Because Maryann took the time to assist and direct me, the path ultimately led to the book being published. The final attempt led me to Maryann Karinch with The Rudy Agency. I received many rejections and gave up several times but something would cause it to resurface and I would pursue getting it published once again.
So when the journey in trying to get the book published began in late 2006, I never imagined it would have been so challenging or that it would have taken so long. The book title, the chapter names and content of the book all came together rather smoothly when I began the project back in 2003. It is amazing that my dream has become a reality. I am honored to say that my book, A Mother’s Climb Out of Darkness published by Praeclarus Press, was released in June at the Annual Postpartum Support International Conference.
