      personality disorders and sociodemographic factors.
PG  - 232-42
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence of personality disorders (PDs) and elucidate 
      the importance of PDs, sociodemographics and health-related factors for the 
      development of psychiatric symptoms in primiparous women. METHOD: 625 primiparous 
      women were assessed during pregnancy, three and 18 months following delivery. The 
      Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), the modified SCID-screen questionnaire and the 
      Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF) were used. RESULTS: The prevalence 
      of PDs was 6.4%. PD was strongly associated with psychiatric symptoms during and 
      after pregnancy. The most important factor predicting long-lasting mental 
      problems was having a PD. A higher level of psychiatric symptoms was found in 
      pregnancy than postpartum. Psychiatric caseness during pregnancy was strongly 
      associated with caseness postpartum. In addition, socio-economic status, younger 
      age and previous treatment for mental problems were identified as risk factors. 
      CONCLUSION: The study indicates a strong association between long-lasting 
      psychiatric illness and personality disorders in childbearing women. A strong 
      association was also found between psychiatric symptoms during pregnancy and the 
      postpartum period.
