The peripartum period is fraught with triggers that can cause, or exacerbate, mental illness, and obstetricians need to be aware of diagnoses and treatment of blues, depression, psychosis and other problems.

Introduction: Postpartum mood disorders are heterogenous disorders and comprise postpartum psychosis and postpartum depression. Evidence is accumulating that systemic monocyte/macrophage activation, low-grade inflammation and (premature senescence related) T cell defects increase the risk for mood disorders outside pregnancy by affecting the function of microglia and T cells in the emotional brain (the cortico-limbic system) leading to inadequate mood regulation upon stress.
Areas Covered: The evidence in the literature that similar immune dysregulations are present in postpartum mood disorders.
