| Postpartum Psychosis |
YF-5000.5385-630 |
A rare but extremely serious condition requiring immediate medical attention that is characterized by a mother's break with reality. In the psychotic state, her hallucinations, delusions and beliefs make perfect sense to her. Unlike perinatal OCD, a mom with postpartum psychosis experiences thoughts that are acceptable to her inner self. Importantly, many survivors of perinatal psychosis never harm themselves or anyone else, nor do they experience delusions that give them violent commands. But because a mother with postpartum psychosis is experiencing irrational thinking and judgement, it is imperative that she be evaluated, treated and carefully monitored by a perinatal mental health professional. |

| Pott Disease |
YF-3000.6760 |
A disease, usually of tuberculous origin and primarily seen in children and adults up to the age of 40, that is characterized by inflammation or decay in the vertebrae. Destruction and compression of the affected vertebrae often result in spinal curvature with resulting compression of the spinal cord and nerves. The infection can spread from two adjacent vertebrae into the adjoining intervertebral disc space. If only one vertebra is affected, the disc is normal, but if two are involved, the disc, which is avascular, cannot receive nutrients and collapses. In a process called caseous necrosis the disc tissue dies leading to vertebral narrowing and eventually to vertebral collapse and spinal damage. Spread of infection from the lumbar vertebrae to the psoas muscle, causing abscesses, is not uncommon. |
