Birth of a New Brain: Healing from Postpartum Bipolar Disorder
Dyane Harwood
In Birth of a New Brain, Dyane Harwood gives voice to countless women who’ve suffered postpartum bipolar disorder. As a therapist specializing in bipolar, I’ve seen how this condition can be misdiagnosed and mistreated, especially in the prenatal and postpartum phases. Dyane’s passionate story of missed opportunities to correctly identify and treat her mood swings show us how new mothers can fall through the cracks of a sometimes chaotic mental health system. But her relentless pursuit of the truth behind her anguish gives us hope. Through all the confusion, doubt and despair, she never gives up. Postpartum bipolar disorder is real! And Dyane is a living inspiration of how to thrive far beyond it.
