Because women in the childbearing years are vulnerable to mood and anxiety disorders, physicians in all patient care specialties need to be familiar with the prevalence and course of these disorders, particularly during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Systematic prospective data are limited on the onset of mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period as well as on the risk of relapse during these time periods in women with prior histories of the disorders. The literature on mood and anxiety disorders during pregnancy is frequently complicated by the use of various methodologies, procedures, and study populations, and inconsistencies in the postpartum time frame (up to 6 months after delivery) make the literature on epidemiology of postpartum disorders difficult to interpret. This article is an update of available information about the prevalence and course of mood and anxiety disorders in women during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
由于育龄期女性易患情绪和焦虑障碍,所有从事患者护理专业的医生都需要熟悉这些障碍的患病率和病程,尤其是在孕期和产后阶段。关于孕期和产后阶段情绪和焦虑障碍的发病情况以及有这些障碍既往史的女性在这些时间段内复发风险的系统性前瞻性数据有限。孕期情绪和焦虑障碍的文献常常因使用各种方法、程序和研究人群而变得复杂,产后时间范围(分娩后长达6个月)的不一致使得产后障碍流行病学的文献难以解读。本文是关于孕期和产后阶段女性情绪和焦虑障碍患病率及病程的现有信息的更新。
