Women who presented to a University psychiatric hospital were categorized into those with childbearing-related onset illness (CBROI, n = 168) and compared to those with non-childbearing-related onset illness (NCBROI, n = 1004). Women with CBROI were an average of five years younger. ⋯ Anxiety disorders were also common in women with CBROI. Most women with CBROI had the onset of illness during the postpartum period compared to during pregnancy or after pregnancy loss.
