  • At 2:30 A.M. the prisoners were rudely awakened from sleep by blasting whistles for the first of many "counts." The counts served the purpose of familiarizing the prisoners with their numbers (counts took place several times each shift and often at night). But more importantly, these events provided a regular occasion for the guards to exercise control over the prisoners

  • References to postpartum depression date back as far as the 4th century BC. Despite this early awareness, it has not always been recognized as an illness.
  • The sooner the condition is diagnosed, the more effective the treatment.
  • The mother may fear she is losing her mind or fear that others may feel she is unfit to be a mother.
    • Erin Waxman

      example: visions of seeing harm done to their baby, or even seeing them do harm to their own child.

  • The “baby blues” is the most minor form of postpartum depression. It usually starts 1 to 3 days after delivery, and is characterized by weeping, irritability, lack of sleep, mood changes and a feeling of vulnerability. These “blues” can last several weeks. It’s estimated that between 50% and 80% of mothers experience them.
  • Women with this condition suffer despondency, tearfulness, feelings of inadequacy, guilt, anxiety, irritability and fatigue.
  • A woman with postpartum depression may regard her child with ambivalence, negativity or disinterest.
    • Erin Waxman
      Erin Waxman on 05 Apr 13
       
      to me this is the most scary thing in the world. To have just given life to a child and to feel such negative feelings towards it when it should be the happiest time in your life.
  • An adverse effect on the bonding between mother and child may result.
    • Erin Waxman
      Erin Waxman on 05 Apr 13
       
      very important and can cause severe damage to the child. The lack of feelings of love and belonging in a child's first years can result in many behavioural and psychological problems in the future.
  • The depression can begin at any time between delivery and 6 months post-birth, and may last up to several months or even a year
  • Postpartum psychosis is a relatively rare disorder. The symptoms include extreme confusion, fatigue, agitation, alterations in mood, feelings of hopelessness and shame, hallucinations and rapid speech or mania. Studies indicate that it affects only one in 1000 births.
  • The exact cause of postpartum depression is not known.
  • One factor may be the changes in hormone levels that occur during pregnancy and immediately after childbirth.
    • Erin Waxman
      Erin Waxman on 05 Apr 13
       
      this is the most common thought cause of the illness
  • There is no one trigger; postpartum depression is believed to result from many complex factors. It is important, however, to communicate to women with postpartum depression that they did not bring it upon themselves.
  • One certain fact is that women who have experienced depression before becoming pregnant are at higher risk for postpartum depression.
  • The risk increases in women who have experienced 2 or more abortions, or women who have a history of obstetric complications.
  • a difficult relationship, lack of a support network, stressful events during the pregnancy or after delivery.
  • Therapy, support networks and medicines such as antidepressants are used to treat postpartum depression.

      I didn't realize not only that this was a possible cause of PTSD but also that it was so highly frequent. 
  • "We need to pay more attention to preventing and treating PTSD in these patients."
  • they often experience flashbacks about delusions or hallucinations they had in the hospital

      i find this very strange and interesting that their reocurring memories/ nightmares are of figurative events. 
  • being given sedatives and narcotics -- may lead to "memories" of horrible things that didn’t happen
  • "One woman thought her husband and the nurse were plotting to kill her,"
  • For the study, the Johns Hopkins team observed 520 mechanically ventilated patients with ALI,
    • Zach Fenlon
      Zach Fenlon on 03 May 13
       
      Very thorough research
  • The researchers found that 66 of the 186 patients (35 percent) had clinically significant symptoms of PTSD,
  • Sixty-two percent of the survivors who developed PTSD still had symptoms at their two-year visit.
  • Half of this same group was taking psychiatric medications, and 40 percent had seen a psychiatrist in the two years since being hospitalized with ALI.
    • Zach Fenlon
      Zach Fenlon on 03 May 13
       
      Even with both types of treatments, many patients were still suffering from PTSD
  • The researchers also found that patients with depression before hospitalization were twice as likely to develop PTSD,
    • Zach Fenlon
      Zach Fenlon on 03 May 13
       
      Similar statement to my research from Harvard Medical Center. 
  • This inflammation may lead to a breakdown in the blood-brain barrier, which alters the impact on the brain of narcotics, sedatives and other drugs prescribed in the ICU.
  • Bienvenu says patients who have these risk factors need special attention. Simply educating them and their primary care doctors about the increased risk for PTSD would be a step in the right direction, he adds.
    • Zach Fenlon
      Zach Fenlon on 03 May 13
       
      This is one of the most simple tactics i have read on preventing PTSD
  • he symptoms fall into three categories: reliving the traumatic experience (flashbacks, nightmares), avoidance (feeling numb, detached, staying away from people and places that serve as reminders of the experience), and hyperarousal (being easily startled, having difficulty sleeping, irritability).
    • Zach Fenlon
      Zach Fenlon on 03 May 13
       
      These are the exact same symptoms that The Harvard Medical Institution describes. 
  • "psychological rehab" now deserves attention.
  • The intervention reduced PTSD symptoms by helping patients make sense of their ICU memories,
    • Zach Fenlon
      Zach Fenlon on 03 May 13
       
      A proven way to reduce PTSD. Very interesting.
