Postpartum psychosis is a rare but severe mental health condition that can occur in new mothers shortly after childbirth. It typically develops within the first two weeks postpartum and is characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and extreme mood swings. This condition requires immediate medical attention, as it can pose risks to both the mother and the baby. The exact cause of postpartum psychosis is not fully understood, but it may be linked to hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and a history of mental health issues. Treatment often involves hospitalization, medication, and support from mental health professionals to ensure the safety and well-being of the mother and her child.
