New book on maternal depression: The Ghost in the House
There's a new nonfiction book about maternal depression on the scene, written by a colleague who is practically my neighbor (she lives and works in the Washington, DC area)!
Former Washington Post reporter, freelance journalist, and author Tracy Thompson's The Ghost in the House: Motherhood, Raising Children, and Struggling with Depression deals with longer-term depression that goes well beyond PPD, and how it affects our families and our experience of mothering. It was released by HarperCollins earlier this month, so the book is hot off the press.
My friend and fellow author Devra Renner says this in her review of The Ghost in the House:
"As a clinical social worker who has worked with hundreds of mothers, this is a book I recommend to clients, as well as mental health professionals. Thompson's ability to explain complicated medical/physiological/pharmacological information while simultaneously using commonly understood language - without watering down the information one iota - is a true gift. The stories Thompson shares from her own experience as a mother struggling with depression, in adddition to the compelling interviews she has conducted with hundreds of mothers (all backed by excellent research relating what is happening currently in the field of depression) set this book apart."
Also check out Thompson's previous book, The Beast: A Journey Through Depression and her website, TracyThompson.com.
