Overview
Psychosis used to be the subject of early research on reproductive mental diseases. In 460 B.C., Hippocrates was the first to mention about postpartum fever, mania, delirium and agitation. His writings reflected how postpartum depression is described today. Postpartum mental illness is recognized as a mitigating factor in situations when mothers kill their infants in some countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Italy.
Historical Perspective
- In 11th century, a professor of medicine, Trotula of Salerno, first recognized postpartum depression.[1]
- In 1547, a Portuguese physician, Joao Rodrigues de Castello Branco (Amatus Lusitanus), briefly described postpartum depression.
- Between 16th and 18th centuries about 50 brief reports about Psychosis were published stating that these psychoses were recurrent and could be seen in both non-lactating and lactating females.[2]
- In 1797, Osiander, an obstetrician, wrote about 2 cases in detail, that are among the treasures for postpartum psychosis.[3]
- In 1819, Esquiro evaluated inpatients in the Salpêtrière, which paved the way for long term research.
- Several workshops have been held in different countries including the UK, like the "Unravelling Eve" where women shared their stories of postpartum depression experience.
- Between the 17th and the mid 19th centuries, infanticide became a serious public health issue, spawning an entire specialty of forensic medicine.[4][5]
