Excerpt from The Canadian Practitioner, Vol. 19: A Monthly Journal of Medicine and Surgery; January to December, 1894 Dr. Menzies, of the Rainhill Asylum at Liverpool (american journal of Insanity), presents a very interesting study of a hundred and forty cases of puerperal insanity. Of these, thirty cases were insanity of pregnancy, sixty-four insanity of parturition, and forty-six insanity of lactation. The author rightly says that these various periods merge so imperceptibly into one another that any division must be, to a certain extent, arbitrary. He applies the term insanity of pregnancy to cases in which mental alienation was noted before the birth of the last child, and all that began two months after parturition he classifies as insanity of lactation.
