Premenstrual relapse of puerperal psychosis
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.
