Discription:
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&#8217story that go beyond what many women experience, but which all
women should be aware of, as post-partum is far from uncommon. Jessica&#8217transparency
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&#8220..an engaging authorial
