Day 6

Day Six is a story of one of the roughest introductions to motherhood you can imagine. Jen Wight breaks the taboo around mental ill health to honestly recount her experience of developing post partum psychosis and then severe post natal depression. She tells the story of being convinced that she was Cameron Diaz; that she and Obama were going to use Facebook to save the world; and that she was going to cure cerebral palsy with dental floss. And it all started on day six of her son’s life. “Day Six is such a brilliant contribution to one of the most important experiences in human life, and one of the most mysterious.” - Anne Deveson, AO Author of “Tell Me I’m Here”; co-founder of Sane Australia and the Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW; former member NSW Mental Health Tribunal
