Denial of pregnancy (DOP) is a challenging condition with poorly understood psychopathology. DOP is reported to be associated with problems such as severe psychological conflicts, obstetric complications, risks to the newborn, and difficulties in bonding with the infant. In this paper, we present and discuss the clinical manifestations of a severe form of DOP that lasted until the time of delivery with resultant multifaceted complications. Our paper highlights the severity of psychopathology and the need for coordinated management. Descriptions from different cultural backgrounds would improve the conceptual understanding of DOP.
否认怀孕(DOP)是一种具有较差理解的精神病理学的具有挑战性的病症。据报道,DOP 与严重的心理冲突、产科并发症、对新生儿的风险以及与婴儿建立联系的困难等问题有关。在本文中,我们介绍并讨论了一种严重形式的 DOP 的临床表现,这种形式的 DOP 一直持续到分娩时,导致多方面的并发症。我们的论文强调了精神病理学的严重性和协调管理的必要性。来自不同文化背景的描述将提高对 DOP 的概念理解。
