- Synopsis
- Following the birth of her second child the author was hospitalized for two months with a severe postpartum depression. She was treated with electroshock therapy which left her with large gaps in her short-term memory. In an effort to make sense of what had happened to her she set out to write about her own life. She further launched an exploration of the literature about post-partum depression, and interviewed other women who had experienced this frightening and little-understood illness.
