“…Rates of rehospitalization at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years were lower for women with PPP receiving ECT than for those receiving ECT outside of the peripartum [ 39 ]. A single case study also demonstrated the benefits of ECT in all three episodes of PPP she experienced, including episodes with and without lithium [ 40 ]. While novel mechanisms in pharmacology and neuromodulation may not be emerging, the above studies continue to emphasize the uniquely robust response of PPP to these interventions.…”

Purpose of Review Postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency that can affect the health and life of mothers, infants, and families. Postpartum psychosis (PPP) is distinct from non-postpartum psychosis in many ways, and it is crucial to study and understand PPP to identify, treat, and possibly prevent this condition. We therefore sought to review the latest research findings about PPP with the intention of updating readers about the latest evidence base. Recent Findings Multiple physiologic pathways have been implicated in the development of PPP, and further understanding these pathways may allow for early detection and treatment. Risk assessment and treatment should include consideration of the woman patient but also the mother-infant dyad and the larger family. Summary It is our hope that this review of research updates in postpartum psychosis may inform clinical practice and promote specialized, evidence-based diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment.
