Post Partum Psychosis is a rare and extreme form of post natal depression

The birth of a child is trumpeted as one of the great moments in anyone's life - but for Elaine Hanzak it all went terribly wrong.

She descended into a spiral of depression, leading to her hospitalisation and treatment for a rare illness - post partum psychosis.

Now recovered, she joins Jenni to discuss the book she has written about her experiences.
