TRIGGER WARNING: Episodes of Mania & Delusions
On today’s episode, we’re sitting down with Jessica Ekhoff, a Chicago-area attorney, volunteer facilitator of PSI’s online Bipolar Support Group, AND as of early 2023, a published author of her book, “Super Sad Unicorn: A Memoir of Mania.” Today, she'll recount some lived experience that many parents rarely hear about. Jessica became a mother during the pandemic, and will give us a glimpse into her experience with postpartum-onset bipolar disorder, mania and psychosis. And spoiler alert - Jessica ISN’T a Super Sad Unicorn anymore. We’ll hear about the incredible support systems that helped get her on the road to feeling well again, and how she’s supporting new parents in the perinatal period now.
