心的外傷後ストレス障害
Research shows that symptoms of Posttraumatic stress disorder are common following childbirth, with prevalence of 24–30.1% at six weeks, dropping to 13.6% at six months. PTSD is rarer; a review found that following normal childbirth (excluding stillbirth and some other complications) rates of PTSD ranged from 2.8–5.6% after six weeks, dropping to 1.5% at six months.
