Resumen

the objective of the work is to expose and contextualize the data found about cases of puerperal madness (or puerperal insanity) attended in the madhouse reginal institution in Galicia in this period (Manicomio de Conxo in Santiago) found after consultation of the clinical records of the center between 1885 and 1936, as well as data from regional or local newspapers in this period, related to the subject under study. We will review some references to the history of puerperal psychoses in psychiatry of the time, and some contributions from 19th century authors such as esquirol, Connolly or victor Marcé, as well as some contributions made by reference authors of twentieth century Galician psychiatry as Cabaleiro Goás. From these cases we want to make some notes about the changes and continuities in the discomforts and psychopathological expressions of psychic suffering in the perinatal period, which goes from the “puerperal insanity” of XiX to the perinatal mental health in the 21st century
