Twelve patients with postpartum psychosis treated over a period of 18 years by 11 different psychiatrists appeared to suffer from a homogeneous disorder, with similar onset, clinical picture, course, and immediate prognosis. This observation, together with reports by other authors, suggests that postpartum psychosis deserves a place in the psychiatric nomenclature other than as "atypical psychosis."
在18年的时间里,11位不同的精神科医生对12例产后精神病患者进行了治疗,这些患者似乎患有同一种疾病,其发病、临床表现、病程和近期预后相似。这一观察结果,连同其他作者的报告表明,产后精神病在精神病学术语中应占有一席之地,而不应被归为“非典型精神病”。
