January is Mental Health Awareness Month, so we are kicking off a brand new year of Bitchstory with some ladies who improved our lives with breakthrough discoveries in the area of mental health. Two of these ladies specifically did research in women’s reproductive health, and without them, we’d all be in institutions, labeled as hysterical and told it is all in our heads.
Dr. Jamie Maquire - researched and found a breakthrough treatment specific to postpartum depression
