A woman has just had a baby and, a few days later, stops sleeping, hears voices, or begins to believe things like her baby is a demon. Postpartum psychosis is a rare illness that can alter her contact with reality and progress within hours. These weeks it has been in the spotlight again due to the case of Lindsay Clancy, an American woman who killed her three children and then tried to take her own life. Before the murders, she had asked for help. And that point is relevant because after childbirth, attention usually focuses on the newborn; however, the mother also goes through enormous physical and emotional changes. Watching her, supporting her, and being alert to signs that something is wrong can make a difference.
