APP is an amazing charity supporting women like me who have suffered from post partum psychosis. I was diagnosed with this in 2015 right after the birth of the beautiful Niamh. I now try and fundraise for the charity whenever possible and also have participated in important medical research to help future treatment via their newsletter.

I normally run a flat 5km weekly so this is double the challenge as is double the distance and a hilly route! Please give whatever you can and gift aid where possible.

Thank you!

Action on Postpartum Psychosis (APP) is a UK charity. We’re here to make sure mums, parents and families are supported through postpartum psychosis – a severe, but treatable, form of mental illness that occurs after having a baby and affects 1400 new mums in the UK each year.

We offer information and peer support, facilitate ground breaking research, raise awareness and campaign for improved services.

Our life changing peer support network helps women and families affected by postpartum psychosis feel understood, supported and less isolated.
