Anesthesia during childbirth may trigger the development of mental illness
Source:
if possible, childbirth should be done without General anesthesia, and local anesthesia
The Birth of a child for many people is considered to be one of the happiest moments of family life. However, during childbirth women experience unimaginable pain that in some cases it is necessary to relieve with the help of anesthesia. Especially often local or General anesthesia is used during cesarean section, the essence of which is the extraction of a newborn baby through the special incision in the uterus. Due to anesthesia during childbirth easier, however, judging by the results of research scientists of the U.S. state of new York, in some cases, pain relievers can cause in women, the development of mental illness. In particular, we are talking about postpartum depression, in which mothers experiencing suicidal ideation.
The results of the study were published in a scientific journal . At the disposal of scientists were data on 428 204 women who have been through caesarean section at a hospital in new York state between 2006 and 2013. Among them were 34 356 mothers who have undergone General anesthesia, while others prefer local anesthesia. As it turned out, postpartum depression in the majority were diagnosed in females, who were under General anesthesia.
the Effects of General anesthesia
Based on the above, the researchers came to the conclusion that General anesthesia can greatly affect the emotional state of mothers. What is the exact reason, they don't know yet, but the statistics clearly proves that undergoing cesarean section in an unconscious state and subsequently are more likely to suffer from postpartum depression. It is a mental disorder characterized by frequent lack of mood, causeless tearfulness, irritability, anxiety and emergence of suicidal thoughts.
To treat this condition, as a rule, are used antidepressants and psychotherapy. If you do not abide under the constant supervision of doctors, there may be a risk of developing bipolar personality disorder. It's a mental illness also has a very nasty symptoms that can haunt a person throughout life. Because in this condition people are alternately either in a depression or in a state of controlled mania difficult.

In the end, the researchers decided that due to their discovery by the doctor know what postpartum women should be carefully monitored. Perhaps in the near future undergoing cesarean section mothers will be offered the therapy that will save them from the possible occurrence of mental disorders. Because of the emotional state of the mother depends very much on the development of the child. In the course of numerous studies have shown that can cause social and mental problems in children.
In the future, scientists want to continue research in this direction and find out exactly how the General and local anesthesia affects the condition of expectant mothers. It is likely that postpartum depression occurs because increasing the anesthesia and pain syndrome. Like it or not, researchers have yet to figure out.
