6E20 Mental or Behavioural Disorders Associated with Pregnancy, Childbirth or the Puerperium, without Psychotic Symptoms
A syndrome associated with
pregnancy or the puerperium (commencing within about 6 weeks after delivery)
that involves significant mental and behavioural features, most commonly
depressive symptoms. The syndrome does not include delusions, hallucinations,
or other psychotic symptoms. If the symptoms meet the diagnostic requirements
for a specific mental disorder, that diagnosis should also be assigned. This
designation should not be used to describe mild and transient depressive
symptoms that do not meet the diagnostic requirements for a depressive episode,
which may occur soon after delivery (so-called postpartum blues).
