My story
The Midwife came out and luckily she knew what it was and picked up the symptoms of Postpartum (Puerperal)
Psychosis
. I then saw my GP who tried to admit me to the Mother and Baby unit in the General Hospital but there were no beds.

Our Patron, Elaine Hanzak
She uses her life experiences of puerperal
psychosis
(the most severe form of “postnatal depression”) and bereavement to demonstrate how it is possible to smile again after life has thrown us challenges!

Anyone have severe psychological depression during wearing off?
I don't have any hallucinations, confusion or
psychosis
during them - just searing pain. Now I'm dreading the next episode..I've tried to explain to the GP and I'm promised the anti depressants by tuesday, but they may take 6 weeks to kick in. I simply won't survive this going on for 6 weeks. .

Not going mad but I feel like it!
I know, kind of weird, but I have just got back from seeing my psychiatrist who has assured me that because I only get this when I am stressed (so basically I was like this 6/7 days a week when I was young), it is not
psychosis
or, as my OCD has tried to convince me, Schizophrenia.

Hearing about others' experiences is just the tonic (weird, I know; sory!)
When I went through all the things I did (see my blog about TIAs and misdiagnosis with postantal
psychosis
below) I was furious about what happend to me and the stroke I had and the mistreatment that should not have happened...

My APS caused multiple TIAs which resulted in me being wrongly diagnosed with postnatal psychosis.
Because I felt ‘in a fog’ the psychiatrist decided I had postnatal
psychosis
and prescribed the atypical antipsychotic olanzapine.

Uncontrolled, Steroid Resistant Asthma
The lowest dose of Flixotide induces clinically-observable
psychosis
in me. I have also tried combination inhalers with the same results. I have now been prescribed Salmetrol as a single inhaler, even though this is not best advice.

Prednisone Steriod Pills
Having searched the internet for more information though I've come across an alarming array of stories from people who've taken this medicine and suffered side-effects which sound absolutely horrific - from women growing beards, to people developing humps in their backs, to

Does your Doctor know about Autoimmune Disease's?
I was sent home with a diagnosis of post partum
Psychosis
and that I needed a shrink. Thank God the shrink had an education on Multiple Sclerosis as he was the one that diagnosed me way before the MS specialist did.
