تحذير: غثيان الوحم الشديد يُهدد عقلية الحامل

A study conducted by King's College London and the National Health Service in South London and Maudsley revealed that hyperemesis gravidarum, which is the severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, significantly increases the risk of women developing mental health issues postpartum. The study was based on an analysis of data from 476,857 pregnant women across 18 countries and concluded that 3.6% of pregnant women suffer from this condition. The results showed that women who experienced hyperemesis gravidarum were 2.7 times more likely to develop postpartum depression compared to others, in addition to higher odds of experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder and postpartum psychosis. The researchers recommended the need for early psychological support for pregnant women suffering from this condition and the provision of postpartum follow-up programs to reduce psychological complications and improve the mother's quality of life.
