"The pregnancy and postpartum period is defined by changes many of them invisible. Being pregnant is stressful, physically and psychologically, said Dr. Giles Berrisford, a consultant psychiatrist who provides perinatal care..."
"One in eight new mothers will experience postpartum depression, with symptoms like extreme sadness, insomnia and social withdrawal that can emerge in the first year after giving birth."
"The consequences of missing a diagnosis of postpartum psychosis can be serious. Both the mom and children are at high risk of harm, said Wendy Davis, the executive director of the nonprofit Postpartum Support International."
"Symptoms often begin within two weeks of childbirth sometimes, just hours after but can also develop months later."
