The story so far
Two mothers have died by suicide after experiencing postpartum psychosis. The term “pink flags” has emerged to describe the subtle signs of postpartum psychosis, which can be harder to spot than the more familiar “red flags” of postpartum depression.
The mothers were from different countries and backgrounds, but both struggled with the same condition. The term “pink flags” is gaining traction as a way to raise awareness about the less obvious symptoms of postpartum psychosis.
The mothers' stories have sparked a global conversation about the need for better support and understanding of this condition. The next step is for health professionals to adopt the term and use it to educate new mothers and their families about the signs of postpartum psychosis.
