Amy, um, now that we're discussing treatments, um, what kind of, um, medicines have you been treated with, if you have been, and have you received, um, relief from that?
17:37
Um, well, when I was put on the Latuda, the very high dose, um, it was from the doctor who I gave all of, all of his doctorates.

He's [laughs] pretty much a genius.
17:47
He's very creative.

Um, some may think he was, you know, a little out of bounds sometimes, but I credit him with saving my life because I had never been depressed or anxious in my life until I had my son.

And two days after birth, I went into full, uh, postpartum depression and couldn't figure out what it was.

And it took me almost a year to get help until I found him, and it was only because I told my rheumatologist what was happening, and her sister was suffering with the same thing.
