Premenstrual relapse of puerperal psychosis

I F Brockington et al. J Affect Disord. 1988 May-Jun.

Abstract

Eight patients suffering from puerperal psychosis rapidly recovered, then relapsed shortly before the onset of their first menstrual period; five of them had repeated premenstrual relapses. This clinical observation supports a hormonal aetiology for post-partum psychosis.
