Episode 124 | Postpartum Psychosis

In today's episode of Psych Talk I discuss postpartum psychosis. The Lindsay Clancy case has been covering news outlets for weeks and has started a conversation about postpartum psychosis. Regardless of if she actually was experiencing postpartum psychosis or not, the reality is postpartum psychosis is a very real and rare mental health disorder. In this episode I briefly touch on postpartum depression and anxiety, as well as psychosis in general. I then discuss postpartum psychosis symptoms, risk factors, and outcomes. Further, I discuss treatment for postpartum psychosis, the lack of guidelines we have for treating postpartum psychosis, and the general lack of support for individuals in the postpartum period.
