Answer to Question 1

A
Epidemiological data suggests that there is a strong link between bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis. Women with depression occurring either before pregnancy or during gestation must be followed closely during and after pregnancy to anticipate the potential for postpartum depression or psychosis. Research suggests that the decrease in estrogen levels combined with sleep disturbances place the woman at risk for postpartum psychosis.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
This tool is not designed to predict the possibility/probability of relapse or identify co-morbid physiological disorders.
