What happens when a mother says she is 'fine' but really she is
not? Post-natal depression (PND), an illness which affects four in
ten new mothers, is still stigmatised, and devastatingly
misunderstood. In Fine (not Fine), Bridget Hargreave charts her own
experiences of depression following the birth of her sons and
records the histories of a collection of mothers with a diverse
range of perinatal mental health problems, such as anxiety, post
traumatic stress disorder, and ante-natal depression. She includes
the stories of the mother who was hospitalised with severe
depression, the mother who was so anxious she was physically sick
every day, the mother whose birth trauma means just hearing the
word "midwife" leaves her in a cold sweat, and the mother who
bravely and honestly outlines the plans she made to end her own
life. Brought together by a series of interviews with mental health
professionals and charities campaigning for changes in perinatal
care, Fine (not Fine) tells the story of a hidden epidemic, and the
remarkable people fighting it.
