Postpartum psychosis as a discrete entity.
Twelve patients with postpartum psychosis treated over a period of 18 years by 11 different psychiatrists appeared to suffer from a homogeneous disorder, with similar onset, clinical picture, course, and immediate prognosis. This observation, together with reports by other authors, suggests that postpartum psychosis deserves a place in the psychiatric nomenclature other than as "atypical psychosis."
