C.A.W.P.I.L.E. : 8.43
This is a revolutionary tale of how mental health was treated before, and how Postpartum dysphoria was neglected, treated like it was not a real thing.
It shows how ignoring the mental health issues tha someone may have might actually worsen their condition.
What the author portraits in this breif tale is based on her own experience and in the end did wonders to change the course of mental health treatment and improve psychology as we know it today.
It's sad & enrapturing to see the progression of the thoght process of this woman and in the end how it affects her perception of herself and others.
