Women's Winter Webinars Understanding postpartum psychosis

This webinar is part of the Women's Winter Webinars series from the National Centre for Mental Health. We’re pleased to be offering a webinar series discussing how reproductive events such as pregnancy, the menstrual cycle and reproductive ageing impact the mental health of women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB). Each webinar will feature our researchers discussing their latest work in each area and people with lived experience sharing their personal stories of these conditions. We’re running these sessions to raise awareness of the conditions and they are open to the general public, not just health professionals and people with an interest in mental health research. This webinar will share research and lived experience perspectives of Postpartum Psychosis featuring speakers from Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP). https://www.app-network.org What is postpartum psychosis? Postpartum psychosis is a serious mental health illness that affects around one in 500 mothers with symptoms usually developing within two weeks of childbirth. Symptoms can include hallucinations or rapidly changing mood.
