Puerperal mental disorders, or postpartum psychosis, have evolving etiopathogenic theories. Current research synthesizes clinical, epidemiological, and biological aspects, focusing on dopamine and therapeutic strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Neuroscience
  • Reproductive Medicine

Context:

  • Puerperal mental disorders have a long history of debate regarding their causes.
  • The 19th century saw significant nosographic descriptions and early hormonal theories.
  • Psychoanalytic approaches dominated for decades, but biological hypotheses are resurfacing.

Purpose:

  • To synthesize current clinical, epidemiological, and biological findings on puerperal psychosis.
  • To highlight dopamine-related research in the context of postpartum mental disorders.
  • To review available therapeutic interventions for puerperal psychosis.

Summary:

  • This overview consolidates diverse aspects of puerperal psychosis, including its historical context and evolving etiological perspectives.
