A member asked:
Does having manic depression, put you at a higher risk of post partum depression? how soon can ppd start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely!: Women with bipolar disorder are at very high risk for postpartum depression. It may occur soon after delivery or up to a year later, by definition. The research indicates that anywhere from half to two-thirds of women with bipolar i or ii disorder may face severe depression in the months after delivery.
