That is not the history I had read about her amandalouise. Actually, if I remember correctly I think I watched a special about her where it might have been on 60 minutes or a program like that. If my memory serves me correct she did not have her other children until after she began to be a success too. I remembered it because I was very surprised to learn how she began writing and she had been suffering from depression. I did not mean to give the impression that she suffered from disassociation, my point about that is to understand how human beings can "create" ways to overcome some very big challenges they are dealing with in life. A way to escape and find a way to see life through a different lens.

JK Rollings did battle Depression.

Things you didn't know about 'Harry Potter' author J.K. Rowling - INSIDER

Quote:
Several times, Rowling has sought therapy to treat her depression. Two periods in particular — while she was writing "Sorcerer's Stone" and living in near-poverty while raising her daughter, and when her life transformed with fame — were particularly difficult.

"We're talking suicidal thoughts here, we're not talking 'I'm a little bit miserable,'" Rowling told the Sunday Times. "Mid-twenties life circumstances were poor and I really plummeted."
