Abstract
Symptom patterns in women with childbearing-related onset illnesses (CBROI) and nonchildbearing-related onset illnesses (NCBROI) were compared. Women with diagnoses of Affective Disorders and Psychoses (n = 762) were divided into four groups: CBROI with psychosis, CBROI with non-psychotic affective illnesses, NCBROI with psychosis, and NCBROI with non-psychotic affective illness. Principal components analysis of 64 symptoms revealed 9 factors. The most dramatic result was the high score for psychotic women with CBROI on the factor cognitive disorganization/psychosis. Psychotic women with CBROI also reported homicidal ideation more frequently. Symptoms of non-psychotic women with CBROI and NCBROI did not differ.Entities:
