Fathers Talk About Postpartum Psychosis - PSI PSA

Three fathers describe their experience with postpartum psychosis.

[@jsscaaaa3768]

My baby daddy got psychosis after the birth of our daughter. Sadly no one seems to think dads can get them cause no one believed me. I had to snap him out of it. Between giving birth to a premi of 34 weeks, lying in the hospital with anxiety being away from home and a husband thinking Im the next best thing from te devil was quite challeging but I/we made it. Stronger then ever.

Silence is deadly. People need to know about this.

So true. Times no one understands ur left in the dark

My wife is currently going through psychosis and it is heartbreaking to see such a wonderful strong woman go though such hell

Hey, man. How are things going now?

[@manssearchforhappiness2655]

@@jamesross5671 hey buddy thanks for reaching out, hannah is doing much better as far as the psychosis she experienced. But unfortunately is now experiencing postnatal depression, she said it is as if she woke up from from a nightmare and is just stuck with this super low mood and numbness, she’s receiving treatment from specialists to try and support her, a slow road but hoping for a meds increase tomorrow 😀

I had this. I was told it was just the baby blues.. it would end in a week or so.. I was just a tired stressed mom etc. Thank God I never hurt my babies or myself but it was complete fear and deep darkness and anguish like I'd never ever felt. With meds it left but man was it a journey getting out of that pit of hell.

[@lovesrunning8296]

How absolutely heart breaking. I’m so sorry for ALL your losses 💔

[@katywaldrop5036]

I'm so so sorry for y'alls losses.😪 I now know I had this but was so paranoid that I would have fought going to the Dr. It really needs to be taught to expectant families.

[@AshleyNeedlesthrives]

Thank you for giving me a name for it!

Postpartum Phychosis is just the result of severe mineral depletion & hormonal balance. Praise YHWH for knowledge wisdom & understanding. YHWH is loving kind & greatly merciful. 💕🙌🏾

[@juliabianchi929]

The knowledge is not out there. My episode happened 17 years ago and I did not know what was going on. No one in my family did. The nurses were the only ones who did

[@moseseigbe3029]

How long before you where able to overcome it?

[@piranyam]

Are there any triggers that could be noticed before the birth? Like extreme impatience and just rage towards the husband and toxic family (who usually doesn't step up their games and just decide to stay ignorant and blame us for reacting the way we do to them?.. ugh)

Aki! Are you okay?! I love you

[@katywaldrop5036]

Aki, get the help you need. Go see a Dr. they will help you. ❤ Jesus loves you very much.

[@Liynkx]

Need a psychiatrist, In acute severe case you may get lithium, it will make you a zombie but will stop the psychosis. Long term treatment will still involve meds, I read recently about psychopharmacologists, they specialize in treating psychotic disorders with effective medicine and usually have options.

[@therandomjamboree3529]

Is it possible for a male to get postpartum psychosis?

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

Yes.

[@prettyflygamer]

From what it sounds like the start of postpartum psychosis is lack of sleep sooooo if you stop getting as much sleep or your partner youuuuu should reallly keep an eye on them or get them to sleep more
