Daughter struggling
She had what we know now was a

within 24hrs of giving birth. We also now realise that the extreme anxiety she experienced after her first child was probably also a psychosis, and she has had on and off mild mental health issues since her teenage years.

Hello, I experienced severe

partum

. I was hospitalized for 2 months my daughters first year of life and it took me years and many many hours in therapy and on medication to recover. My daughter is now seven and we’ve adopted our son and I’m starting to titrate off of medication.

Wife not accepting treatment for Postpartum Psychosis
Hi Everyone, We had a baby boy born June 2022, My wife started having mild symptoms in February 2023, got treatment for postnatal depression, until April 2023, she stopped the medication as she felt well. Slowly stated paranoia, agitation, talking same things again and again, thinking her son is a incarnation

Overwhelming fear of death
Hi everyone, I had PP last August out of the blue, and recently had a lot of stress that triggered similar feelings around the fear of death as ones I had with my initial episode. I called the crisis line and was really worried I would relapse. They said it is likely PTSD as it comes up to a year anniversary

Dreams about PPP
Hi everyone, I just woke up this morning after experiencing disturbing dreams about psychosis. Has anyone experienced strange dreams about their experience? I’m sure it’s common but wanted to know other people’s experiences. I only experienced PPP last August, so fully expect these dreams won’t go

Paranoia after psychosis
Me again. Has anyone else experienced severe paranoia after psychosis? I'm afraid to go out on my own in case someone is out to get me. Has anyone felt this way and recovered from it? If so, what helped?

Olanzapine and bodily sensations
Since I've had psychosis I have noticed that I can't feel my muscles when I work out and no longer get any soreness or aches, whereas previously I would get a lot. I even had a massage and could barely feel it, only felt skin deep sensations and not the deep tissue feeling that I'm used to. The masseuse

Getting back into work
Hi I'm trying to get back into work following pp, but I am worried I might get overwhelmed. Has anyone else had to get a job pp and found an employer who was understanding? Has anyone got any tips about minimising stress job hunting/in a new job? What has your experience been like?

how likely is to relapse?
hello, I had PP almost 12 weeks ago and I constantly worry that I could get another psychosis. The APP guides suggest preparing for a relapse, but does that mean another psychosis? How likely a person who had no other mental illness is to have psychosis again? Does it only appear with high stress?

Treatment resistant psychosis
Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone here has had treatment resistant psychosis and has had to take clozapine or have ect treatment? I'm still struggling with a couple of delusions and was hoping to hear some success stories from others.

Undiagnosed PP
Hi Everyone, I am new here after coming across APP recently. I was very unwell after having my daughter 3 1/2 years ago, and I have finally come to terms with that fact it was PP. Unfortunately this was missed by many professionals at the time, the midwives on the ward following the birth, the perinatal

Finding the right medication
Hi everyone I've been on a few medications now, Olanzapine is the current one I'm on. I'm still struggling to accept that everything I went through was psychosis, so I'm finding it really hard to move on. I'm not sure it's the right medication for me as I often think about the psychosis and feel like

olanzapine
My husband without my knowledge was skipping some days of taking his olanzapine. He had a psychotic episode. The PA filling in for a dr was taking him off some meds (depakote) and up with others. Nothing was working so I requested a dr. He was originally on 5 mgs. The dr. Put him back on depakote and
