Rachel: 我是产后精神病的幸存者。我的经历始于分娩后几天出现的噩梦，随后发展为谵妄、妄想和幻觉。我的幻觉让我相信为了保护我的孩子，我必须牺牲自己。这种幻觉非常强烈，以至于我制定了一个详细的自杀计划。幸运的是，我的丈夫及时发现并阻止了我。在接下来的几个月里，我经历了多次幻觉和妄想，这些经历非常痛苦和令人恐惧。我尝试过不同的治疗方法，包括与一位治疗师进行生命跨度整合疗法，但这并没有帮助我。最终，我住进了精神病院，并接受了正确的药物治疗。我的康复之路漫长而艰难，我经历了严重的创伤后应激障碍和抑郁症，并通过自残来应对精神上的痛苦。现在，我已经康复，并致力于提高人们对产后精神病的认识，以帮助其他女性。 Lindsay: 我采访了Rachel，她分享了她与产后精神病抗争的经历。她的故事强调了产后精神病的严重性和对及时诊断和治疗的迫切需求。同时，也揭示了医疗系统在产后精神健康教育方面的不足。Rachel的故事提醒我们，产后精神病患者需要更多的支持和理解，并且及时的干预至关重要。
