PREVALENCE OF AFFECTIVE DISORDERS AND NON-SUICIDAL SELF-INJURIES IN WOMEN WITH MISCARRIAGE IN MEDICAL HISTORY

Journal Title: Psychiatry, Neurology and Medical Psychology - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

The group of women with miscarriage in medical history has been studied (n=358). Average age is 28,65 ± 5,20 years old. Time window from the last miscarriage to the beginning of study is 18 months. Aff ective depressive disorders were diagnosed in 25,42% women with miscarriage in medical history (depressive episode, recurrent depressive disorder, dysthimia). Para-suicidal behavior such as nonrandom non-suicidal self-injuries was found in 18,16% women with miscarriage in medical history. In the group of women with miscarriage in medical history and aff ective disorders, self-injuries without suicidal motivation occurred 4,9 times more often than in women with miscarriage without mental disorders (p<0,01). Established high occurrence of depressive disorders and para-suicidal activity in women with miscarriage in medical history demonstrates the necessity of early diagnostics of aff ective disorders and auto-aggressive activity in the given population.
