Postpartum depression is a common mental health disorder that affects women within six months after giving birth. It is characterized by sadness, anxiety, and extreme fatigue, which can significantly impact a woman's daily functioning and ability to care for her newborn. While traditional treatments for postpartum depression include therapy and medication, recent studies have shown promising results using ketamine. We present a case of a woman with a history of depression who delivered four children by cesarean section with debilitating postpartum depression in two births and no symptoms of depression in the births where she received ketamine during delivery.
产后抑郁症是一种常见的心理健康障碍，会影响产后六个月内的女性。其特征为悲伤、焦虑和极度疲劳，这会严重影响女性的日常功能以及照顾新生儿的能力。虽然产后抑郁症的传统治疗方法包括心理治疗和药物治疗，但最近的研究表明，使用氯胺酮取得了令人鼓舞的结果。我们报告了一例有抑郁症病史的女性病例，她剖宫产分娩了四个孩子，其中两次分娩后患有严重的产后抑郁症，而在分娩期间接受氯胺酮治疗的两次分娩中没有抑郁症症状。
