EastEnders put spotlight on postpartum psychosis

Those who watch EastEnders will be familiar with the character Stacey and her history of mental illness.

Since having a baby she has struggled with a rare condition called postpartum psychosis. Symptoms can include hallucinations, depression, and extreme confusion.

The government has promised to put nearly £300 million into improving mental healthcare for new and expectant mothers.
