No. It is the same psychosis ETA: PPD is psychosis that develops after birth. But psychosis is psychosis. It isn’t a different kind of psychosis. It is usually temporary and will resolve unlike schizophrenia in which suffers have psychosis and hallucinations but that illness is lifelong

Ahh, I re-read and I see what you mean. Agreed that PPD doesn’t always progress to post partum psychosis
