Synopsis


A Dance in the DSM: My Tango with Postpartum Depression, Anxiety, and OCD is a memoir chronicling one mother's journey through mental health struggles. It is a story of hope that mixes the humor of parenting with the horrors of developing a mental health crisis and living with the rare disorder: postpartum OCD.This memoir follows the author through the beginning of her first pregnancy (when she developed peripartum anxiety), through her postpartum experience (when she was diagnosed with postpartum OCD), and throughout her subsequent full recovery (with medication and professional help). She spares no embarrassing detail, including a first person perspective of her nervous breakdown. In an irreverent and humorous voice, Jessica highlights the lack of resources, isolation, and the pressures that new mothers face, and takes readers on her journey to health and happiness.

"There are elements all moms can relate to in A Dance in the DSM- the excitement and nervousness of becoming a mother, the other worldly experience of labor, the marvel of new motherhood, and the challenges that follow. There are also harrowing elements of Jessica’s story that go beyond what many women experience, but which all women should be aware of, as post-partum is far from uncommon. Jessica’s transparency with her journey brings awareness to this all too common struggle, while also destigmatizing it and its treatment with humor."
- Azure Moyna, Author of Fullness

“...an engaging authorial voice” - Carol Killman Rosenberg Writer, Editor, and Book Coach

“This book is a funny, poignant and timely wake up call to the vital issue of postpartum depression and its treatment. ” - Dr. Peter Mohrer, M.D Former Instructor, Yale School of Medicine
