“…As the perinatal period is acknowledged to be a time of heightened stress and a trigger for reduced emotional wellbeing and increased depression and anxiety [87] , it has been suggested that symptoms of depression, including appetite change, lowered energy, sleep disturbance and reduced libido, have considerable impact not just on the mother but on the infant [88] . Not only depression but also anxiety in pregnancy is harmful to the fetus and contributes to adverse obstetric outcomes, including intrauterine growth impairment of the fetuses and operative deliveries [89,90] .…”

“…Recent studies suggest that anxiety disorders may be under-estimated in the post-natal period and may actually be more common than depression, with up to 16% of women suffering some type of anxiety disorder such as panic, phobia, acute adjustment disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Matthey, Barnett, Howie, & Kavanagh, 2003;Wenzel et al, 2005). Notably, evidence suggests up to a third of women appraise their experience of birth as traumatic, and between 1 and 2% of women develop diagnostic PTSD following birth, with up to 30% showing sub-diagnostic symptoms (Ayers & Pickering, 2001;Czarnocka & Slade, 2000;Maggioni, Margola, & Filippi, 2006;Soderquist, Wijma, & Wijma, 2006;Soet, Brack, & Dilorio, 2003).…”

“…Parte considerável desses casos pode ser desencadeada especificamente no pós-parto. Um estudo australiano conduzido com 408 puérperas encontrou incidência de 1,9% a 3,1% nesse período, utilizando a Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) 81 . Sugere-se, inclusive, que eventualmente pode haver uma prevalência maior de TAG em puérperas do que na população geral 82 .…”

ResumoObjetivo: O pós-parto é um período de alterações biológicas, psicológicas e sociais. Essa é considerada a época mais vulnerável para a ocorrência de transtornos psiquiátricos. A disforia puerperal, a depressão pós-parto e a psicose pós-parto têm sido classicamente relacionadas ao pós-parto. Atualmente, tem sido observado que os transtornos ansiosos também estão associados a esse período. Método: Neste artigo é feita uma revisão da bibliografia acerca de transtornos psiquiátricos no pós-parto a partir de artigos encontrados no PubMed e no SciELO entre os anos de 2000 e 2009. Livros, teses e outros artigos considerados relevantes citados no material consultado também foram incluídos. Resultados: A disforia puerperal ocorre em 50% a 85% das mulheres, o quadro é leve e transitório e não requer tratamento. A depressão pós-parto tem prevalência em torno de 13%, pode causar repercussões negativas na interação mãe-bebê e em outros aspectos da vida da mulher e deve ser tratada. A psicose pós-parto é rara, aparecendo em cerca de 0,2% das puérperas. Tem quadro grave que envolve sintomas psicóticos e afetivos, havendo risco de suicídio e infanticídio e geralmente requerendo internação hospitalar. Os transtornos ansiosos podem ser exacerbados ou precipitados no pós-parto, especialmente o transtorno de ansiedade generalizada, o transtorno de estresse pós-traumático e o transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo. Conclusão: Apesar de não serem reconhecidos como entidades diagnósticas pelos sistemas classificatórios atuais, os transtornos mentais no puerpério apresentam peculiaridades clínicas que merecem atenção por parte de clínicos e pesquisadores.Cantilino A, et al. / Rev Psiq Clín. 2010;37(6):278-84 Palavras-chave: Transtornos psiquiátricos, pós-parto, depressão, ansiedade, psicose. AbstractObjective: The postpartum period is marked by biological, psychological and social changes. Women are considered most susceptible to psychiatric disorders during the postpartum period. Puerperal blues, postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis have been classically associated to the postpartum. Anxiety disorders have also recently been associated to this period. Method: The present article reports a review of the literature on postpartum psychiatric disorders based on articles found on the PubMed and SciELO databases, published between 2000 and 2009. Relevant books, theses and other articles cited in the articles found were also included in this review. Results: Puerperal dysphoria occurs in 50% to 85% of women following childbirth and is typically mild and transient in nature and requires no treatment. Postpartum depression has a prevalence rate of around 13% and can have negative repercussions on mother-infant interaction and other life events and must therefore be treated. Postpartum psychosis is rare, occurring in approximately 0.2% of puerperium cases. This condition is severe with psychotic and affective symptoms as well as risk of suicide and infanticide. Postpartum psychosis patients generally require hospital treatment. Anxi...
