Is Britney Suffering from Post-Partum Psychosis?

On “The View” show this morning, the women (namely Rosie) discussed Britney Spears’ sad state and suggested that she may be suffering from post-partum psychosis or depression of some kind.

According to Women’s Health:

A woman may have rapid mood swings, from depression to irritability to euphoria as well as delusions, hallucinations, sleep disturbances, or obsessive thoughts.

Some symptons of post partum psychosis according to WebMD:

Although any women with PPD can have fleeting, frightening thoughts of suicide or harming their babies, women with rare postpartum psychosis experience these thoughts as urges they feel compelled to act on.

E! News reports the hairstylist reaction to Britney’s need to shave her head:

“She wasn’t very talkative, in fact, I kept talking to her about the kids, and I asked about her baby, hoping that I could convince her and talk her out of continuing,” added Esther Tognozzi (the hair stylist who refused to shave Britney’s head).

She said that Spears didn’t appear to be under the influence of anything and remained “emotionless” for the most part, “except for when she said, ‘Oh my god, my mom’s going to be so upset,’ and she had tears in her eyes.”

Feelings such as these can drive any “normally sane” person to seek other ways to relieve their pain- including unhealthy attention- seeking behavior, or a quest for mood alteration through substances or alcohol. Photos seen elsewhere of her reaction to Kevin Federline’s refusal to see her children reflects her current state of mind.

The women of The View seemed to have positive thoughts for Britney, agreeing that she has positive, supportive people in her life that will be there for her and help her get through this. Their hope was that she will recover from this ongoing episode in her life.
