Samenvatting

Aan de hand van literatuurgegevens wordt een overzicht gegeven van de rol van biologische factoren bij het tot stand komen van de drie belangrijkste psychiatrische stoornissen in het kraambed: ‘maternity blues’, postpartumdepressie en kraambedpsychose. Voorde blues en de postpartumdepressie worden vooral stoornissen in de stofwisseling van L-tryptofaan, progesteron en de endorfines beschreven maar zonder dat een duidelijk biopsychofysiologische verklaring van de ziektebeelden kan worden gegeven. Voorde kraambedpsychose wordt vooral aan dopamine en beta-enkefaline aandacht besteed.

Het blijkt dat over de bio-etiologie van deze aandoeningen vooralsnog geen consensus bestaat.
