title: [Psychic symptoms during pregnancy, and development of the child].
abstract: Physical, social and psychic resources are required for the mother during pregnancy. Even normal pregnancy often involves fluctuations in mood and psychic instability. On the other hand, pregnancy does not protect from actual psychic symptoms, which may appear, recur or continue during pregnancy. The mother's mental condition has an influence on the developing child. Special attention should be paid to early recognition of the symptoms and to early treatment.
