Postnatal psychosis is a serious mental illness that affects 1 to 2 women in every 1000 after childbirth. The condition can cause sudden and dramatic changes in a woman’s thinking, mood and behaviour including mood swings, hallucinations, delusions, paranoia and suicidal thoughts. Not many people know about this dangerous condition that can put mother and baby at risk and which almost always requires hospitalisation for the mother.
