Which postpartum presentation might suggest bipolar disorder?

Sleep disturbances during postpartum depression

Appetite changes during postpartum depression

Fatigue during postpartum depression

Psychotic symptoms during postpartum depression

Psychotic symptoms occurring in the postpartum period strongly point to bipolar-spectrum illness. Postpartum depression by itself can include sleep disturbance, appetite changes, and fatigue, but psychosis isn’t typical of the unipolar form. When delusions or hallucinations appear after delivery, it raises concern for bipolar disorder with psychotic features (or postpartum psychosis), a condition that requires urgent assessment and treatment for both safety and mood stabilization.
