Postpartum Psychosis

Postpartum psychosis is a rare but serious condition that can cause frightening thoughts, mood changes, and a break from reality. At Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions (FACTS), we offer a safe, compassionate space to get the care you need. Here, you’ll be met with understanding, not judgment, and supported every step of the way.

Welcoming a new baby is often imagined as one of life’s happiest moments. But for some, the early days of motherhood feel anything but joyful. If you’re experiencing confusion, fear, or a sense that something is deeply off, you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.

What Is Postpartum Psychosis?

Postpartum psychosis is a severe mental health condition that typically begins within the first few days or weeks after childbirth. It’s different from postpartum depression or anxiety and is considered a medical emergency. Immediate care is crucial for both your safety and your baby’s.

Though rare, affecting about 1 to 2 in every 1,000 births, postpartum psychosis can happen to anyone, even without a prior history of mental health issues. 

Signs and Symptoms of Postpartum Psychosis

The symptoms of postpartum psychosis can come on quickly and feel overwhelming. Knowing what to look for can help you or a loved one get help sooner. Common signs include:

  • Feeling extremely confused or disconnected from reality
  • Paranoia or intense, irrational fears
  • Seeing or hearing things that aren’t there (hallucinations)
  • Believing things that aren’t true (delusions)
  • Drastic emotional changes or mood swings
  • Restlessness, agitation, or extreme anxiety
  • Trouble sleeping or eating
  • Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, please reach out. These experiences can feel terrifying, but you don’t have to face them alone.
