Psychiatrist on postpartum psychosis: family shame and silence can be fatal

Psychiatrist Maja Herman explains the difference between baby blues and postpartum psychosis on the "Miłość" program, using the example of Lindsay Clancy's tragedy in the USA, where she killed three of her own children. Postpartum psychosis is a deadly illness, not temporary sadness — it requires immediate medical intervention. Herman points out that the greatest danger is family silence, which out of shame delays calling a doctor.
