Today’s BBC Spotlight programme ‘Mums in Crisis’ investigates perinatal mental health care in Northern Ireland, showing just how urgently a Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) is needed to save lives and prevent life-long trauma. There is no MBU in Northern Ireland, and APP is campaigning for this to change

'Over the past few weeks, I’ve been watching closely as Nicole Piper’s (Sammy Dobson) postpartum psychosis storyline has ramped up on Casualty... Like Nicole, I too suffered from postpartum psychosis.' Thank you to Juliette for sharing your story: metro.co.uk/2025/02/11/p...

Postpartum psychosis had me thinking I’d died and gone to hell
I believed that my baby had died, that my husband had died, and that I was dead and in hell.
