The literature on postpartum psychiatric disorders is limited to descriptions of depressive and/or psychotic syndromes. The authors describe three cases of panic disorder presenting for the first time in the early postpartum period. Clinicians should differentiate between postpartum panic disorder and the well-recognized presentation of postpartum depression.
