ResumenYa en 1858, Louis-Vicotor Marcé estimó que de una a dos mujeres por cada 1,000 sufrirán un quiebre psicótico en el periodo puerperal; actualmente este porcentaje se conserva. A pesar de que el estudio de los trastornos psíquicos en el periodo puerperal, más precisamente sobre la psicosis posparto, no es reciente, no existe actualmente consenso sobre su etiología ni sobre su nosología.Mediante este artículo se desea realizar una revisión histórica y clínica sobre el debate acerca del diagnóstico, la etiología y las diferentes interpretaciones de los quiebres psicóticos desencadenados en el periodo puerperal a fin de poder brindar un panorama general sobre esta patología que cobra cada vez más interés en la psiquiatría, en la psicología y en la obstetricia.AbstractIn 1885, Louis-Victor Marcé estimated that for every thousand births, between one and two women suffer a psychotic breakdown during the puerperal period; this rate remains the same. Despite the extensive history of studies of puerperal psychological disorders, more precisely postpartum psychosis, there is currently no consensus on its aetiology or nosography.The aim of this article is to perform a historical and clinical review of the debate on the diagnosis, aetiology, and interpretation of acute psychosis breakdown triggered during the puerperal period, in order to provide a general panorama of this pathology; a pathology that is gaining more and more interest in psychiatry, psychology, and gynaecology.
