Obsessive-compulsive symptoms in pregnancy and the puerperium:
Abstract
In this article, we review the available research on postpartum obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Most studies are retrospective in nature, thus not answering questions as to overall prevalence of such symptoms. However, there are consistent findings with regard to symptom profile: obsessional thoughts in postpartum OCD tend to concern fears of harm to the infant. We discuss distinctions between postpartum OCD symptoms and postpartum depression and psychosis. Although preliminary, research on treatments for postpartum OCD indicates the effectiveness of medications and cognitive-behavioral therapy. We explore the relationship between OCD symptoms and postpartum depression and offer possible directions for future study. We also consider the proposed etiological models and offer a fresh conceptualization of this condition.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
