Our paper describes the process of creating a stakeholder group for service development and research in Postpartum Psychosis (PP) at a Perinatal Psychiatry Service in India. We involved women who have recovered from PP as `experts by experience' in identifying areas that need attention from a research and service perspectives. A total of 13 group meetings were conducted, in which 9 group meetings involved women with lived experiences of PP and 4 group meetings were with the family members involved in the care of women during the PP episode. Of the 58 participants, 23 women and two family members expressed their willingness to participate in future stakeholder meetings. Involvement of women with PP and their caregivers as stakeholders in mental health decision-making appears feasible in a LMIC setting and should be encouraged.
我们的论文描述了在印度围产期精神病学服务中为产后精神病（PP）的服务开发和研究创建利益相关者群体的过程。我们邀请了已经从 PP 中康复的女性作为“经验专家”，从研究和服务的角度确定需要关注的领域。总共进行了 13 次小组会议，其中 9 次涉及有过 PP 经历的女性，4 次涉及在 PP 发作期间参与女性护理的家庭成员。在 58 名参与者中，有 23 名女性和两名家庭成员表示愿意参加未来的利益相关者会议。在 LMIC 环境中，让患有 PP 的女性及其照顾者作为精神健康决策的利益相关者参与进来似乎是可行的，应该得到鼓励。
