Another Twinkle in the Eye by Elaine Hanzak
Every year 35,000 women in the UK suffer from postnatal depression. It follows that at some point further on they are likely to ask the question 'Do I/ we want another baby?' This guide will support parents and professionals in that decision making process, and in planning for another pregnancy and the postnatal period if the decision is yes. It will also consider the implications of deciding not to have another child."A very good combination of information on issues related to perinatal mental illness for the general public and health professionals… A guide and reference book for anyone who has suffered from perinatal mental health illnessThe book strengths are that the contents are the product of the experience of the author, both personally and from her own research." – (Highly Commended, Popular Medicine, BMA Medical Book Awards 2016)
"One of the strengths of these books is the author’s own experiences, which are interwoven with factual information and guidance without being prescriptive; in addition, the vignettes from other women’s experiences give balance to the content. It is of utmost importance that the profile of perinatal mental illness is raised to ensure that those affected get the appropriate help and to reduce the needless deaths of women suffering from this potentially life threatening illness. This book and the earlier work contribute in educating and informing and to some extent offer reassurance to all those affected and who come into contact with perinatal mental health concerns."- Cathy Ashwin, Principal Editor, MIDIRS
“This is an engaging conversation about how to prepare for and manage perinatal mental illness. Readers will develop a deeper appreciation for the variety of experiences women have during this period. General clinicians to women's mental health experts will find it is a great book to recommend to patients.”
