• Obsessive-compulsive disorder in pregnancy, the puerperium, and the premenstruum.

  Williams KE, Koran LM. J Clin Psychiatry. 1997; 58 (7): 330-4; quiz 335-6

  Recent reports suggest that pregnancy and the puerperium may precipitate or exacerbate obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The influence of this illness on other reproductive events, such as the premenstruum, is unknown. We examined retrospectively the relationships of pregnancy, the puerperium, and premenstruum to the course of OCD in 57 women.
