Overview

Childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder is a psychological disorder that can develop in women who have recently given birth.[1] This disorder can also affect men or partners who have observed a difficult birth.[2] Its symptoms are not distinct from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).[3][4] It may also be called post-traumatic stress disorder following childbirth (PTSD-FC).[5]
