There are three major types of postpartum mental disorders: postpartum blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis. Postpartum blues are the most common emotional condition for women after giving birth that usually goes away by the second week. Postpartum depression is less common and usually lasts longer than two weeks; symptoms appear virtually every day and last for the majority of the day, and functional impairment may result. Postpartum psychosis is least common and is a mental emergency that happens within the first month after giving birth; it must be treated right away.
