One of the biggest risk factors for postpartum psychosis is previously diagnosed or family hisotry of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. If you already have bipolar disorder you should be aware, and so should your loved ones, that you have a better-than-average chance of having postpartum depression or psychosis.
