Abstract
Objective: Expose the basic concepts about postpartum depression and puerperal psychosis, emphasizing the natural history of the disease and the possible consequences for the mother-child binomial. Bibliographic review: There are several risk factors for postpartum depression: personal history of prenatal depression, low family income and poor marital relationship. Regarding to puerperal psychosis, the main risk factors are: personal history or family history of bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis during a previous pregnancy. The diagnosis of postpartum depression may lead to some consequences for the baby, such as low weight, diarrhea, colic, pain during routine vaccinations and febrile illness in the child. The puerperal psychosis can directly affect the mother and the baby’s safety, since the diagnosed woman tends to suicide, hostile and harmful behaviors with the child. The approach to these pathologies needs to be multidisciplinary. Pharmacological intervention is reserved for severe cases. Final considerations: Postpartum depression and puerperal psychosis are psychiatric disorders that can affect women during the puerperal period. During this period, there are emotional and hormonal changes, enhanced by several factors. Results indicate that these disorders can lead to a negative pattern of interaction with the baby.
