This state is called brain death. It is a highly controversial issue in the medical field, and there is a lot of research around the subject. This is basically what happens when a person has died. Even if functions normally controlled by the brain can be sustained artificially (life support machines), doctors and other professionals all agree that when a person is in a state of brain death, they can accept to declare the person dead. When a brain has reached "brain death," the person cannot breathe by themselves (which is a spontaneous action - normally, you don't have to think about breathing in order to breathe), there would be no more brain waves, and the heart will have stopped beating. There would also be no response to touch, pain, noise or other types of stimuli.

What are 4 symptoms of Postpartum Psychosis? What is the treatment for Postpartum Psychosis?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Síntomas y signos habituales

Los síntomas referidos y signos observables de la psicosis puerperal varían en gran medida en función del caso concreto, e incluso a lo largo del curso del trastorno en una misma persona. Síntomas opuestos, como la euforia y el estado depresivo, se dan en ocasiones de forma conjunta.

Los signos iniciales más frecuentes de la psicosis posparto incluyen la aparición de sensaciones de euforia, la reducción en la cantidad de sueño, la confusión mental y la verborrea.

Además de ser clasificables en un cuadro de tipo psicótico de naturaleza similar a la de la esquizofrenia o el trastorno esquizoafectivo, los síntomas habituales de la psicosis puerperal en ocasiones también se asemejan a los de la manía y la depresión, las principales alteraciones del estado de

ánimo¿Cuál es el tratamiento?

El tratamiento en la actualidad es el ingreso hospitalario, tanto del bebé como de la madre. Es la forma de prevenir consecuencias mucho más trágicas como el suicidio o filicidio. Se intenta, durante el ingreso, favorecer el vínculo madre-bebé y evitar la separación.

El manejo farmacológico se compone básicamente de eutimizantes y neurolépticos a altas dosis. En ocasiones se requiere terapia electroconvulsiva, la cual no está contraindicada para el feto. Si estos se administran antes del parto, es conveniente analizar la relación coste/beneficio en el último trimestre de la embarazada o en el posparto inmediato.

Existe también una terapia que se está mostrando eficaz. Se trata de la terapia mediante video-feedback, de tal forma que las madres con trastornos afectivos o psicóticos incrementarían la sensibilidad y los lactante reducirían su pasividad, favoreciendo las conductas cooperativas. La adopción temprana por parte de la madre del rol materno respecto al bebé es esencial para acelerar la recuperación.
