I have been reading a book about PPP in Victorian times.
In it there are several references to Peuperal Melancholia.
I was wondering if anyone else is aware of this.
It seems to fit my symptoms

Hi Poulson
Melancholia is the old fahioned word for depression. I had a depressive psychosis as well.
I think all the evidence is that PP occurs in all times and all cultures - and yet always takes people by surprise.
What is the title/ author of the book you are reading? I don't think I've come across it.
Hi Caroline
The book I am eading is Dangerous Motherhood Insanity and childbirth in Victorian Britain.
The author is Hilary Marland
The isbn number is1-4039-2038-9
