Postpartum mood disorders can range from mild baby blues to severe postpartum psychosis. Postpartum psychosis occurs in the first 1-4 weeks after delivery in 0.1-0.2% of births and is associated with hormone shifts. Screening tools like the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale are used to assess levels of depression. Postpartum depression is diagnosed using DSM-IV criteria including 5 symptoms of depression emerging within 4 weeks of delivery. Left untreated, postpartum mood disorders can cause risks like suicide, infanticide, and cognitive impairment. Treatments include medications, psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, and hospitalization.
