Abstract

Background and objectives

The postpartum period appears to be a vulnerable period for the development of obsessive-compulsive disorder in parents; yet it is often overlooked. This work aims to synthesize clinical data available on Postpartum Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (PP-OCD) and to highlight its psychopathological significance and implications in clinical practice using a systematic approach.

Methods

We conducted a systematic research according to PRISMA guidelines in three databases – MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science. The references obtained were then screened and scanned for eligibility by two investigators. Risk of bias was assessed for each study with NIH tools.

Results

The found prevalence of postpartum OCD ranged from 2.43 %-9 % among women and 1,7 % among men. Other epidemiological and clinical data were reviewed including particular symptomatology, characterized by a swift onset of primarily aggressive and contamination obsessions, as well as situational avoidance.

Conclusion

It is a clinical entity frequently underdiagnosed, which perinatal health practitioners should be familiar with, as it can interfere with parent-infant bonding if left untreated. Mothers with an history of depression, anxiety, insomnia, obsessive compulsive, and avoidant personality disorder or presenting inappropriate interpretation of infant related intrusive thoughts are particularly at risk of developing OCD in the postpartum period. These mothers should be informed about the nature of their infant centered obsessions and could be a target of prevention programs.

探究产后强迫症的临床特征--系统性综述
背景和目的产后似乎是父母强迫症的易发期,但这一时期却常常被忽视。本研究旨在综合产后强迫症(PP-OCD)的临床数据,并采用系统的方法强调其精神病理学意义和对临床实践的影响。方法我们根据 PRISMA 指南在 MEDLINE、Scopus 和 Web of Science 三个数据库中进行了系统研究。然后,由两名研究人员对所获得的参考文献进行筛选和扫描,以确定是否符合条件。结果发现女性产后强迫症的患病率为 2.43%-9%,男性为 1.7%。研究还回顾了其他流行病学和临床数据,包括以攻击性和污染性强迫症以及情景回避为主要特征的快速发病等特殊症状。有抑郁症、焦虑症、失眠症、强迫症和回避型人格障碍病史的母亲,或对与婴儿有关的侵入性想法有不当解释的母亲,在产后尤其容易患上强迫症。应让这些母亲了解她们以婴儿为中心的强迫症的性质,并将其作为预防计划的目标。

期刊介绍: The European journal of psychiatry is a quarterly publication founded in 1986 and directed by Professor Seva until his death in 2004. It was originally intended to report “the scientific activity of European psychiatrists” and “to bring about a greater degree of communication” among them. However, “since scientific knowledge has no geographical or cultural boundaries, is open to contributions from all over the world”. These principles are maintained in the new stage of the journal, now expanded with the help of an American editor.
