Postpartum psychiatric illness: can women recognise the onset?
RCM Midwives.

Abstract
In the Department of Health's Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health (2004), deaths from psychiatric causes are reported to be the most common cause of maternal death overall. Midwives are in a prime position to inform women regarding this issue. This paper explores the lack of client understanding of postnatal depression through a small, personal exploratory study of a community midwife's routine postnatal visits.
