The exact cause of postpartum psychosis is unknown, but it is believed to be related to a combination of hormonal changes, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors. Hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy and after childbirth can affect the brain chemistry and lead to postpartum psychosis. A family history of mental illness, particularly bipolar disorder, may also increase the risk of developing postpartum psychosis. Stressful life events, such as the death of a loved one, can also trigger the condition.

• Rapid mood swings
• Paranoia
• Hyperactivity
• Insomnia
• Disorganized thinking
• Agitation
• Difficulty concentrating

• Loss of appetite
• Excessive energy
