abstract = {Pregnancy and postpartum are vital times of greater vulnerability to suffer a decompensation
of bipolar disorder (BD). Methods: A systematic literature search was performed on public
electronic medical databases, following PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if they reported
postpartum relapse in patients diagnosed with BD according to Diagnosis Statistical Manual (DSM) or
International Classification Disease (ICD) criteria. Results: Sixteen articles describing 6064 deliveries
of 3977 women were included in the quantitative analyses. The overall risk of postpartum relapse
was 36.77%. The methodology of the studies, the diagnostic criteria, the discrimination between
BD type I and II, and the origin of the sample were very heterogeneous. Conclusions: the rate of
postpartum bipolar relapse is very high, as it is considered to be a critical period. It is especially
important to detect decompensation in this period and to evaluate mood-stabilizing treatment, given
the high risk of relapse concentrated in a short period.},
