Overview

Postpartum blues are characterized by mild, temporary, and self-limiting mood disturbance. Postpartum blues puts a woman at risk of Postnatal depression. If left untreated, females with postpartum depression may progress to develop chronic depressive disorder, and are predisposed to major depression in future. This can also result in depression in father. Children of untreated females may have emotional, behavioural issues and language problems. Greater chances of having ADHD, excessive crying, eating and sleeping problems.[1] This condition can impact bonding between mother and child. Postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency and patient needs immediate treatment. Majority of individuals with postpartum psychosis react well to therapy and have rapid recovery and remission. Suffering from postpartum psychosis increases its likelihood in future pregnancy. Common complications of postpartum psychosis, if left untreated include filicide, suicide, and many psychosocial implications.[2] [3]

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Complications during the perinatal period may affect a woman's long term medical health. The sleep deprivation, hormonal fluctuations and care for the newborn may cause the mental illnesses and increases their psycho-biological vulnerability for future psychiatric illness. These not only affect the new mothers but also their newborns and the family. The natural history, complications and the prognosis of peripartum mood disturbances differs and are specific to the individual condition.
