Laura had never experienced poor mental health until she became a mum. She talks to Anna about loving her pregnancy, and the lovely period leading up to the birth of her son Jet, that came to an abrupt end with a 'casserole of nonsense' surrounding his birth, the traumatic week she spent on the ward afterwards, feeling like a broken oven, and the paranoia, intrusive thoughts and voices that led her to being hospitalised for psychosis.
