Dyane Harwood's book Birth of a New Brain is very timely. As the different lines of evidence are converging on a balanced and holistic approach in treating mood disorders, Dyane successfully weaves the latest research with personal insight to produce a very impactful roadmap for others towards recovery., Dyane Harwood gives voice to the enormours pain and suffering associated with severe postpartum mental illness. In sharing her story of postpartum mania, she poignantly describes the association between bipolar disorder and the exacerbation of symptoms triggered by childbirth. Birth of a New Brain is an important book that should be required reading by all who provide care to perinatal women., In Birth of a New Brian, Dyane Harwood gives voice to countless women who've suffered postpartum bipolar disorder. As a therapist specializing in bipolar disorder, I've seen how this condition can be misdiagnosed and mistreated, especially in the prenatal and postpartum phases. Dyane's passionate story of missed opportunities to correctly identify and treat her mood swings shows us how new mothers can fall through the cracks of a sometimes chaotic mental health system. But her relentless pursuit of the truth behind her anguish gives us hope. Through all the confusion, doubt and despair, she never gives up. Postpartum bipolar disorder is real! And Dyane is an inspiring example of how to thrive far beyond it., With artful prose and brutal honesty, Dyane Harwood depicts her struggle to have a stable, peaceful life as a wife and mother amidst the turmoil brought on by postpartum bipolar disorder in Birth of a New Brain. Despite many false starts, missteps, and even cruel and indifferent treatment at the hands of certain medical professionals she encountered, Harwood soldiered on and finally arrived at her own truth. The answers, for the most part, were inside her all along, and consisted of self-care habits, including healthy eating, sufficient sleep, and consistent exercise. Thoroughly researched with a wealth of resources for mothers and families, Birth of a New Brain is an invaluable resource and reference point for mothers grappling with shifts in mood after the birth of their children., Birth of a New Brain is an important contribution to our understanding of postpartum bipolar disorder. New moms are often unaware that this condition manifests in the complicated ways Dyane Harwood brings to life with her vivid, compelling prose, and even seasoned clinicians can miss the signs of postpartum hypomania or mania. Dyane brings wit and wisdom to what I think will be very helpful to her peers who experience postpartum bipolar disorder, their loved ones and new families, and the doctors who treat them. In fact, what Dyane so generously shares within Birth of a New Brain may well prevent some of the pain and danger that she unfortunately had to experience., Dyane Harwood's Birth of a New Brain is a gripping account of the awful juxtaposition of childbirth and the onset of bipolar illness. Her book is an informative and important contribution to our understanding of this triggering of mental illness that happens more often than is generally recognized., Dyane Harwood's writing eloquently brings to life the complex interaction between the person, her world and the changes in how she perceives it wrought by the onset of mania following childbirth. She unpicks the conflict faced by all of us who experience chronic mood problems--between the pressure to follow sometimes uncertain 'medical advice' uncritically and the need to retain some sense of self-agency, because with that comes hope of being able to lead the kind of lives we want to live. She rightly challenges the doctors who project their own failings onto the 'problem patient.' Indeed, she highlights the importance for all of us of finding a doctor in whose expertise one can invest respect and trust. We are all so much more than our 'illness' but can find that goal hard to achieve. Dyane Harwood's extraordinary book shows us how to do it., "In Birth of a New Brain, author and advocate Dyane Harwood provides the reader with an intimate look at her journey with postpartum bipolar disorder. This book will be a blessing for anyone who has received a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and wishes they had a best friend to "show them the ropes." Dyane bares her soul and spares no details whether it's describing the effects of the myriad of medications she was prescribed or the moment she found herself pleading for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) due to suicidal thoughts. Ultimately, this is a book about hope, courage, and perseverance. I have long admired Dyane as a fellow advocate; after reading this book, I have enormous respect for her as a warrior in the fight against stigma.", Birth of a New Brain is an important contribution to our understanding of postpartum bipolar disorder.

In fact, what Dyane so generously shares within Birth of a New Brain may well prevent some of the pain and danger that she unfortunately had to experience., Dyane Harwood has changed the landscape in our ability to reach out to families and prevent crises related to perinatal bipolar disorder. In Birth of a New Brain, Dyane movingly illustrates that the experience of living through the extreme symptoms of bipolar disorders without help is lonely and frightening. Dyane has accomplished a wonderful goal; she not only provides solid information about bipolar mood disorder symptoms, risks, and distress, but also uses her authentic voice to illustrate hope, healing, and stability. Women and families who read this book will come away feeling like they just made a trustworthy friend, one they can rely on for honesty, wisdom, up-to-date facts, and a model of recovery. The book will make a world of difference in the provider's ability to understand risk factors, assess, and support women living with perinatal bipolar mood disorder symptoms, and it will also empower parents to ask the right questions and improve their ability to take healthy steps on the road to recovery., Dyane Harwood gives voice to the enormours pain and suffering associated with severe postpartum mental illness.

Synopsis
When a new mother becomes manic overnight from a rare form of bipolar disorder, she stops at nothing to find the mental stability she needs to stay alive. After the birth of her baby triggers a manic maelstrom, Dyane Harwood struggles to survive the bewildering highs and crippling lows of her brain's turmoil. Birth of a New Brain vividly depicts her postpartum bipolar disorder, an unusual type of bipolar disorder and postpartum mood and anxiety disorder. During her childhood, Harwood grew up close to her father, a brilliant violinist in the Los Angeles Philharmonic who had bipolar disorder. She learned how bipolar disorder could ravage a family, but she never suspected that she'd become mentally ill--until her baby was born. Harwood wondered if mental health would always be out of her reach. From medications to electroconvulsive therapy, from "redwood forest baths" to bibliotherapy, she explored both traditional and unconventional methods of recovery--in-between harrowing psychiatric hospitalizations. Harwood reveals how she ultimately achieved a stable mood. She discovered that despite having a chronic mood disorder, a new, richer life is possible. Birth of a New Brain is the chronicle of one mother's perseverance, offering hope and grounded advice for those battling mental illness.
