Firstly, due to the nature of this book I hate the fact I have to give it a rating. Personal memoir detailing a horrible time in a woman’s life.
This to me was so moving. Having kids myself and dealing with PPD I have never felt as emotional reading a book in all my life.
I am thankful for the awareness Aaisha is bringing and I am glad there are people like her that exists.

I read this book because I'm a licensed clinical social worker and a certified perinatal mental health provider. I don't specialize in postpartum psychosis. However, I believe being educated on this disorder is imperative to treating my clients so that I can refer them to the appropriate medical professionals.

I rated this book a 4 because I listened to it on audiobook and didn't love the narrator. Otherwise, this book is a realistic depiction of postpartum psychosis and the flaws within the medical field regarding the disorder.

If you're a healthcare provider who sees perinatal patients, please read this book. If you're someone who is or knows someone who is pregnant or postpartum, please read this book. Don't self diagnose. Just increase your awareness!
