Post-Partum Psychosis
Post-partum Psychosis affects about 1 in 1000 new mothers, usually within the first two weeks after childbirth. Symptoms include severe mood swings, hallucinations, delusions, and cognitive disorientation. Immediate medical intervention is crucial for managing post-partum psychosis to ensure the safety and well-being of both the mother and the newborn.
