Knowledge about Pregnancy and Postpartum Psychosis (PPP) – Who needs it?
Join us in our efforts to address the most severe of pregnancy & postpartum mood disorders: pregnancy & postpartum psychosis (also known as perinatal psychosis or puerperal psychosis). This is our 2nd annual PPP Awareness Day and the FIRST ever US-based international fundraising effort for PPP awareness. We know awareness is crucial for saving lives, prevention of trauma and aiding recovery.

When I was discharged I went to my parents’ house because my husband was still recovering from the stomach bug at our house. That’s where I had my first psychotic episode 4 days postpartum. I was trying to take a nap but was preoccupied because I couldn’t feel any pain from my c-section even while pressing down on my incision. I knew something was wrong, I just wasn’t sure what. My mom tried to get me to relax by telling me to count backward from 100. I got to 99 and got stuck.

Please note, at the time this was created, we were not yet calling it Pregnancy and Postpartum Psychosis. We are working to change that. Click below to see her TEDx talk.
