Is there anything else I need to know about a postpartum depression screening?A rare but more serious form of postpartum depression is called postpartum psychosis. Women with postpartum psychosis have hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't real). They may also have violent and/or suicidal thoughts. If you are diagnosed with postpartum psychosis, you may need to be hospitalized. Some facilities offer supervised units that allow mother and baby to stay together. Medicines, known as antipsychotics, may be part of the treatment.
