This paper reviews the psychiatry of the puerperium, in the light of work published during the last eight years. Many distinct disorders are seen. In addition to various psychoses and a heterogeneous group of depressions, there are specific anxiety, obsessional and stress-related disorders. It is important to identify severe disorders of the mother-infant relationship, which usually respond to treatment, but have pernicious effects if untreated. The complexity of post-partum psychiatry requires the deployment of multidisciplinary specialist teams, which can handle the challenges of therapy, prevention, training, research and service development.
本文根据过去八年发表的研究成果，对产褥期精神病学进行综述。我们发现了许多不同的病症。除了各种精神病和一组异质性抑郁症外，还存在特定的焦虑症、强迫症以及与压力相关的疾病。识别母婴关系中的严重障碍非常重要，这些障碍通常对治疗有反应，但如果不治疗会产生有害影响。产后精神病学的复杂性需要多学科专家团队的参与，他们能够应对治疗、预防、培训、研究和服务发展等方面的挑战。
