Some women suffer from irrational behaviour, hallucinations, delusions and suicidal thoughts after giving birth.
These are symptoms of a rare form of postnatal depression called postnatal psychosis. In some cases you may have thoughts about harming your baby or yourself.
Postnatal psychosis is a serious mental illness but women often don't realise they have it. If you think you may be suffering you should see your GP to ensure your life and the life of your baby is not put at risk.
