Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to understand the experience of postpartum psychosis in an Orthodox Jewish woman.
DESIGN AND METHODS: A case-based narratology using an unstructured interview was conducted to facilitate the telling of her story.
FINDINGS: While the nurses were unable to recognize her symptoms in the hospital, her family members were also unable to recognize escalating symptoms once she returned home, until she became a danger to herself.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Better recognition of symptoms, empathetic connections, cultural appreciation of faith-based rituals and their effect on patient isolation, and education of families and nursing staff may be vital components to successful recovery from postpartum psychosis.
