Affectivity Flood Peripartum Surge

Definition

Postpartum/peripartum affective lability: hormonally-mediated overwhelming emotional intake bound to the early puerperium, loaded with somatic depletion and infant-directed over-reception. Phase-bound onset and absent trauma content separate it from trauma-flood (Trigger Rush, Vicarious Imprint); state-driven hormonal etiology and intact identity separate it from borderline dysregulation (Storm Merge); maternal-somatic anchoring separates it from purely interpersonal contagion (Contagion Mirror) and convulsive cultural discharge (Affect Outburst). Persistence past the early puerperium, anhedonia, or impairment of function places the profile with peripartum depressive and anxiety presentations rather than this phase-bound line.
