Postpartum psychosis is a condition that affects a significant number of women after childbirth. It is estimated that 3 in 10 women develop mental health symptoms during pregnancy or in the postpartum period, which demonstrates the prevalence of this health issue.
Childbirth represents an event with an enormous physical and psychological impact on women. This recovery period is particularly challenging, as it coincides with the need to care for a totally dependent baby.
The combination of the mother's physical and emotional recovery and the demands of caring for the newborn creates a phase of significant vulnerability for female mental health.
