“Dr. Durruthy has written a comprehensive and compassionate guide for women with depressive illness. Her book is interactive, challenging while at the same time empowering its reader with information and resources. Although the book was written for patients, I would also recommend it to health care professional as a starting point when they discuss child bearing with any woman with chronic illness.”
