Abstract
Recently, Luciene Picqué pointed out that uteri surgery, such as curettage and even amputation of the cervix, can have a curative effect on psychoses that develop in women in the postpartum period. The author, in the case of postpartum psychosis, resembling hallucinatory insanity, performed curettage on the patient, after which, three months later, the patient left in an almost healthy state. The author attributes recovery to surgical treatment.
