Postpartum Psychosis

                                             Postpartum Psychosis

Postpartum Psychosis is rare, however the impact on the family unit can be catastrophic. As promised, I have included the link for support groups for moms with a history of postpartum mood disorders. There are 30 different groups run by Postpartum Support International. So select the one that is best for you.

Here are a list of my references. This is not a comprehensive list but the major points came from these two resources. To all my nursing professors, I am sorry but I used a creative means to cite 😊. Next episode I will do better. So stay tuned…
