Article Excerpts about Postpartum psychosis
The term postpartum depression describes the range of physical, emotional,
and behavioral changes that many new mothers experience following the delivery
of their babies. Symptoms of this condition can range from mild to severe. A new
mother's depression may be a mild, brief bout of "baby blues"; or she may suffer
from postpartum depression, a much more serious condition. In some cases, new
mothers may have postpartum psychosis, a relatively rare but severe and
incapacitating illness. (Source: excerpt from Postpartum Depression Fact Sheet: NWHIC)
