Has anyone had to have a psychiatrist report done for a personal injury claim
I did not have a mental health illness it was an untreated blood pressure problem which by the way can cause
psychosis
if not treated. Anyway due to my awful experience with Pyschiatrists I did not want to go to this meeting .

I had mania and psychosis a year ago. Now I'm depressed.
I just wish I could start over or at least go back to my episode of
psychosis
and stop it from happening. The reality of life is that there is no meaning other than what we give it.

My story 2 years on
My son has just turned 2 which means another, less enjoyable, anniversary is looming. To mark it I thought I'd share my story, such as it is so far. I've always wanted to be a mum, it's the one thing I've ever been completely sure about when it comes to life plans and ambition. I had a good pregnancy

How long until you were off medications all together?
I'm feeling much better, no
psychosis
, no depression, I'm no longer on anti psychotics, my anxiety is under control via self help techniques and sertraline, and I feel myself again.

I'm wondering how doctors etc can differentiate between after effects of pp & post natal depression?
I'm currently recovering from my 2nd episode of pp & am worried I may now be experiencing pnd as struggling with low mood & anxiety. After my previous episode I had cbt over the phone for anxiety being home alone with my son but not much depression.

How has PP changed you? Reflecting on strengths and vulnerabilities
Been thinking about this quite a lot recently as I face a new season of recovery in my own life after a relapse of depression. I began my PP recovery journey 8 years ago with a sense of huge relief, and renewed confidence in my own strength; if I could make it through that then I could make it through

Confidence: Getting it back!
My symptoms were quick to come on and luckily I was treated quickly and put on Olanzapine which stopped the
psychosis
quickly. I have had severe depression since but am coping ok on my meds (Aripiprizole and Venlafacine) now and feel quite stable.

Would you like 1 to 1 emails with a volunteer who has recovered from PP?
* The PPTalk one-to-one email service is for those with personal experience of Postpartum
Psychosis
, their partners or family members. (For those who have been diagnosed with PP, this service is most suitable once you have been discharged from hospital and are on the path to recovery.

Writing Therapy
I humoured them by looking after the doll until I was able to see that was just another trick the
psychosis
had played on me. The need to get better was overwhelming when I woke up from the
psychosis
and one of the hardest parts for me was the constant surveillance.

How supportive was your partner during PP?
I know my partner has been very supportive, main carer of 3 children during the
psychosis
, and whilst I had time away. Also since I'm on quetiapine, hes had to get up with baby in the night and get up with the older children in morning every day until the sedation wears off.

Is Schizoaffective disorder the same as puerperal psychosis?
Today the psychiatric nurse visiting me said that I could have schizoaffective disorder rather than puerperal
psychosis
. Is that a different illness or the same, the symptoms seem identical for each illness but the prognosis is different.

Trapped in the cycle of abuse.
One of my brother's ended up a cannabis addict and suffered some kind of mental
psychosis
. He was very difficult to get along with and couldn't live a life outside of the family home because of it.

What was the aftermath of your recovery once you started feeling better?
I didn't expect this, I thought once the
psychosis
was over, I would be fine, did anyone else feel the same?
