Postpartum psychosis is terrifying but treatable, this survivor says. The challenge is finding support

Meghan Cliffel's harrowing experience with postpartum psychosis a decade ago revealed the terrifying hallucinations and delusions that can accompany the condition, such as believing she was being watched by a cult. Despite the fear and chaos, she received treatment and now advocates for better support systems. Her story underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing postpartum psychosis, which, while rare, can have life-threatening implications, as highlighted by the Lindsay Clancy case. Her journey to recovery and subsequent successful birth of another child emphasizes the need for accessible mental health resources and support for new mothers.
