Beschreibung:What is the prevalence of mood disorders during pregnancy and the post­partum period; does the prevalence vary compared to nonchildbearing women? What are the psychosocial and neurobiologie factors that predict risk for postparturn mood disorders? Postpartum Depression: Causes and Consequences by Michael W. O'Hara synthesizes a series of efforts to address these and other difficult questions. It is a clear, cohesive, and carefully prepared work, which serves not only as a review of more than a decade of research, but also as a charge for future investigation regarding unanswered questions about postparturn mood disturbance. Depression after childbirth is one of the most prevalent complications in modern obstetrics. Nonetheless, the subject of postpartum mood disorders remains understudied. Some investigators pursue nosologie debates regarding the extent to which postpartum depression should be considered a discreet diagnostic entity. Others have tried to identify biologic or psychosocial factors that are uniquely associated with puerperal illness. More recent efforts have begun to focus on the need to identify predictors of risk for developing depression during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Identification of women "at risk" can lead to prophylactie treatment strategies that attenuate such risk, thereby limiting morbidity associated with untreated depression and the impact of matemal psychiatric dis order on child development
