Depressive type of gestational dominant
one of the types of gestational dominant, which involves the maximum severity of anxiety, which in turn can lead to the development of neurotic reactions. This type is due to the tendency of a woman to reactions of exhaustion of nervous processes when adapting to a new psychosocial and physical quality. First of all, this is manifested by a sharply reduced mood, tearfulness, general physical weakness, the appearance of inconsistent health complaints that have no physiological basis. A woman with this type of gestational dominant may begin to perceive pregnancy as a punishment or a necessary ordeal to remove the psychological burden of previous mistakes. Super-valuable (in extreme cases – delusional) hypochondriacal ideas, ideas of self-abasement, suicidal tendencies, intentions of “liberation from the child” may be revealed. Women with depressed gestational dominance need postpartum monitoring as a risk group for postpartum depression and abandonment of the child after birth.
