How to recover from Postpartum Psychosis?
Remember, recovery from this condition is only possible in a psychiatric ward in the hospital. Here the mental health specialist will provide treatment and most of the patients make a full recovery and are back home with their families within 3 months or even sooner.
However, with more severe cases it can last for 6 to 12 months or longer, but most women make a full recovery. There is the possibility that after treatment the patient will still experience depression and anxiety, but this will soon pass. Many mothers might find it difficult to bond again with their child and often feel apprehensive for missing out on spending time with their child. Family and friends can off their support.
