Postpartum psychosis is a mental illness that is often misunderstood and stigmatized and can have a devastating impact on the women affected and their families, particularly when not identified and treated early on. The first-person perspective of experiencing a mental illness such as postpartum psychosis is remarkably powerful and can shed light on some of the hidden or misunderstood aspects of diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and getting support. With this in mind, we have prepared this interview from both an academic and lived experience perspective of postpartum psychosis, for clinicians, academics, mental health professionals, and members of the public.
产后精神病是一种常被误解和污名化的精神疾病,会对受影响的女性及其家庭造成毁灭性的影响,尤其是在未能及早发现和治疗的情况下。从第一人称的角度体验产后精神病等精神疾病,具有强大的感染力,可以揭示一些诊断、治疗、康复和获得支持方面的隐藏或被误解的方面。考虑到这一点,我们从学术和产后精神病的亲身经历两个角度,为临床医生、学者、心理健康专业人员和公众准备了这次采访。
