“…Previous studies have described disturbance of consciousness, disorientation, severe inattention and depersonalization/derealization as important symptoms of PP. [4][5][6][7]19,[30][31][32][33][34] Notably, there might be a bias towards reporting these symptoms in case reports, case series or retrospective studies, because these symptoms are remarkable and extraordinary.…”

We distinguished subgroups of PP patients with a manic, depressive, and atypical profile. Disturbance of consciousness, disorientation, and depersonalization/derealization were less prevalent than previously suggested in the literature. Instead, the depressive profile was the most prevalent, but the depressive profile can easily remain undetected, which could lead to treatment delay and risk of suicide/infanticide. Within the manic profile, irritability was highly prevalent and occurred more often than elevated mood.

“…However, women who have experienced puerperal psychosis are at risk of developing further puerperal and non-puerperal episodes of illness (e.g., Reich & Winokur, 1970;Schopf, Bryois, Jonquiere & Le, 1984). Presently, it is not possible to give an accurate assessment of risk, although it has been estimated that in women who have previously experienced an episode of puerperal psychosis the rates of puerperal relapse are estimated between 17% and 50% (e.g., Brockington, 1996) and 39% and 81% for non-puerperal relapse of illness (Kirpinar, Coskun, Caykoylu, Anac, & Ozer, 1999;Protheroe, 1969).…”

Women felt that the illness took away the ability to experience normal emotions, as affective responses were viewed as potentially pathogenic. Although puerperal psychosis was described as a life-changing experience, the women used feeling like their 'old sense of self' as a marker for recovery. Anger and frustration were directed towards health services because of their lack of provision of adequate information and support for the women and their families. More support may have alleviated the stresses placed on relationships and informed families about the nature of the illness. Further work is needed to establish the long-term effects of suffering from puerperal psychosis.

“…In another study [42] from Turkey, 64 inpatients with postpartum psychoses were followed-up for 11 years. The majority of these patients were young, married, primiparae, had low educational level and were living in rural areas, and the mean onset time for postpartum depression after delivery was 3.62 weeks.…”

Objective The postpartum period represents a time of increased risk for psychiatric disorders. Postpartum depression is especially very common. Many aetiological risk factors have been reported for postpartum psychiatric disorders. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the postpartum psychiatric disorders in a Turkish sample and discuss their course. Methods The files of 6000 inpatients who were admitted to Gazi University School of Medicine Psychiatry Department were evaluated retrospectively, and 67 patients were chosen whose psychiatric illness had began puerperally. These patients were grouped according to age of onset of the illness, number of episodes and the type of these episodes, their postpartum psychiatric diagnoses and illness prognosis. Results Of 6000 patients, 67 (1.11%) were diagnosed as having a postpartum psychiatric disorder: 56.7% (n=38) were diagnosed as having a postpartum psychotic disorder, while 35.8% (n=24) as having an affective disorder. Forty-seven patients (70.1%) received a diagnosis of major psychiatric disorder during their follow-up. Conclusion These results show that postpartum diagnoses may show a chronic course and cause a life-time psychiatric illness and therefore patients should be monitored carefully for psychotic symptoms even after the acute period is over.

Abstract: These findings, unlike those of the Western studies, demonstrate that PPP is not uniform in different populations.
