It's estimated postnatal psychosis affects around 1 in every 1,000 women who give birth. It most commonly occurs during the first few weeks after having a baby. Postnatal psychosis is more likely to affect women who already have a mental health condition, such as [bipolar disorder](https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/bipolar-disorder/) or [schizophrenia](https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/schizophrenia/overview/). As well as the symptoms of psychosis, symptoms of postnatal psychosis can also include changes in mood: - a high mood (mania) – for example, feeling elated, talking and thinking too much or too quickly - a low mood – for example, feeling sad, a lack of energy, loss of appetite, and trouble sleeping Contact a GP immediately if you think you or someone you know may have developed postnatal psychosis as it is a medical emergency. If this is not possible, call [NHS 111](https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/nhs-services/urgent-and-emergency-care/nhs-111/) or your local [out-of-hours service](https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/nhs-services/urgent-and-emergency-care/nhs-out-of-hours-services/). If you think there's an imminent danger of harm, call 999 and ask for an ambulance. ### Psychosis is not the same as psychopath The terms "psychosis" and "psychopath" should not be confused. Someone with psychosis has a short-term (acute) condition that, if treated, can often lead to a full recovery. A psychopath is someone with an antisocial [personality disorder](https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/personality-disorder/), which means they: - lack empathy – the capacity to understand how someone else feels - are manipulative - often have a total disregard for the consequences of their actions People with an antisocial personality can sometimes pose a threat to others because they can be violent. Most people with psychosis are more likely to harm themselves than others.
