| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Postpartum depression is associated with complications that can endanger the health of both the mother and indirectly the baby. It is especially important to screen for hypomanic symptoms in this period and to differentiate between unipolar and bipolar bi polar disorders. On the other hand, difficulties experienced in the regulation of emotions may be important in describing unip olar or bipolar disorders that may be observed in this period. For this reason, it is aimed to investigate how postpartum depr ession, hypoman ic symptoms and emotions are regulated in the postpartum period and the relationships between these phenomenologies. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out by evaluating 164 puerperant women who did not have any complicated or negative experiences during pregnancy and delivery, who did not have a family history in terms of psychiatric disorders, and who agreed to be a participant, on the tenth postpartum day. All cases read and answered by them; were evaluated with the Turkish versions of the modified hypomania checklist (mHCL), Edinburgh postpartum depression scale (EPDS), and difficulty in emotion regulation scales (DERS). Results: The mean EPDS score was 7.39 ± 2.45, and the results obtained in 7.9% of th e cases were above the cut-off point. The mean of hypomania evaluation scores was calculated as 5.14 ± 2.71. However, the rate of those with at least three hypomanic symptoms was 85.3%, and the rate of those with at least five hypomanic symptoms was 55.5%. Correlations were observed between ' impulse, clarity, and non-acceptance ' subtypes of the DERS scale and hypomanic symptoms. However, it was determined that they did not show any correlation with the scores obtained from EPDS. Conclusion: It seems that identifying difficulties in emotion regulation may be important in differentiating hypomanic symptoms in the postpartum period. In this period, the distinction between unipolar depression and bipolar disorder is particularly difficult and requires careful evaluation. For this reason, we believe that it would be more beneficial to use clinical interviews, which include emotion regulation difficulties, in evaluations. | |
