Post-natal psychosis-help me support my sister

My sister is thinking of ttc her second child but she is terrified. She has one son who is 8 and after his birth she suffered with post-natal psychosis where she had to spend several months in a mother and baby unity for support etc.
It has taken her over 8 years to decide she'd love a sibling for my nephew but she is terrified that it will happen again.
Is there anybody on here who has any positive stories about over coming post-natal psychosis?
Anybody who went on to have a second child and not suffer second time round?
And any ideas on how I can support my sister?
Many thanks in advance

Was she on medication during her pregnecy that might help
