Jones I et al. – Puerperal (postpartum) psychosis – the acute onset of a manic or psychotic episode shortly after childbirth – most commonly occurs in women with a bipolar disorder diathesis who have a vulnerability to a specific childbirth–related trigger. Women with bipolar disorder are at particularly high risk of puerperal psychosis, with a severe affective episode following between 25 and 50% of deliveries.
