🩷 Postpartum Psychosis: Know the Signs
Postpartum psychosis is rare but serious, and it can develop rapidly after childbirth. Symptoms may include hallucinations, delusions, severe confusion, paranoia, extreme agitation, or dramatic changes in mood or behavior.
This is not the same as the baby blues and should be treated as a medical emergency. If you notice these signs in yourself or someone you love, seek immediate medical attention and stay with the person until help is available.
Postpartum mental health deserves care, compassion, and prompt support. You are not alone, and recovery is possible.🤍
📞 In the U.S., call or text 988 for crisis support. If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
