Neurotic disturbance in pregnancy--a review.
There has been little consensus in the previous literature about the prevalence of non-psychotic psychiatric disorders in pregnancy. Only a few studies have included control groups and in these studies no substantial differences in rates have been reported. There have been methodological difficulties in establishing the incidence, course and nature of neurotic disorders occurring during pregnancy. However, from the available evidence, it seems likely that such neurotic disorders are similar to those occurring at other times.
