dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of the current study was to prospectively examine a course of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) during the early postpartum period. Method: The study data were collected from 16 pregnant women. with a diagnosis of OCD according to the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID-I). Obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms were assessed by the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) before and after childbirth. Psychopharmacologic or psychotherapeutic treatments were not administered over the study period. Results: Scores of the mean Y-BOCS-total and Y-BOCS-obsession were significantly reduced from the basal levels to 6 weeks postnatally. No significant difference was found in terms of Y-BOCS-compulsion between 2 interviews. During the study period, whereas the Y-BOCS-total scores were decreased by at least 25% in 8 (50.0%) of 16 patients, only 1 (6.2%) of 16 patients experienced at least a 25% increase in the same scores. Conclusion: The results from a small patient group suggest that some patients may experience a marked improvement in preexisting OCD symptoms after childbirth. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc.
