Attorney and author Jessica Ekhoff was one of the one to two in a thousand women who are affected by postpartum psychosis after having a baby. Within days of giving birth in February 2021, Jessica began experiencing paranoia, delusions, confusion, and rage that landed her in a psychiatric ward when her son was ten days old. In an effort to shed light on this too-rarely-discussed postpartum mental health condition and create a sense of solidarity and hope for other women who have battled similar challenges, Jessica published Super Sad Unicorn: A Memoir of Mania in January 2023.
 
Join Jessica, along with moderator Carolyn Blessing and maternal mental health therapist Jamie Kreiter, LCSW, PMH-C, to discuss the book and the critically important topic of postpartum mental health.
 
Questions for Jessica or Jamie can be submitted to the moderator (cblessing@lockelord.com) in advance of or during the event. Names will not be shared and all questions will be deleted immediately after the event.
