‘Puerperal Psychosis - A carer's survival guide’

Resource for partners of women suffering Puerperal Psychosis, a rare condition than post natal depression. CraigAllatACarersSurvivalGuide-Web171011.pdf

A new booklet was launched for partners of women with puerperal psychosis, a condition much rarer than the blues or post natal depression (PND) and occurs in one woman in every 500 or so deliveries.  The rarity of the condition makes it difficult for carers to locate information to assist them. This booklet was written by a man, Craig Allat, a person with lived experience of the condition his wife faced.

The endless, hopeless; the burden is getting me down

It has been 18 years of caring for Chris; he has once again left her devastated....

It has been 18 years of caring for Chris; he has once again left her devastated. Janet’s son Chris was diagnosed with Schizophrenia when he was 20. Janet is now in her mid-60s. His illness has sometimes made her feel hopeless.

It's not just about the glass he threw at her when she last visited him. It's not just about the cruel words he yelled at her.

It is the never ending burden which tears her apart.

Chris has been in and out of hospital many times. He has escaped from hospital three times and has been returned by police twice.
