Background In the literature, the growing interest to the gender
such as variable expression and treatment of psychiatric disor-
ders, it is emerged in a considerable number of fields. Gender
differences have become the subject of numerous investiga-
tions, in order to verify how the sex variable might affect the
psychopathology.
Aims We propose to evaluate the role of gender differences in
the development of traits of schizotypal personality, impulsivity, SS
and their influence in the definition of temperamental component.
Materials We recruited 173 healthy subjects, between 18 and 65
years, who completed the following tests: BIS-11; SPQ; SDS; SAS;
HCL-32; TEMPS-A; SSS.
Results The bivariate analysis by gender shows scores for the
hyperthymic temperament significantly higher among males com-
pared to the scores for the female sex, which, in turn, presents
higher scores for cyclothymic. The levels of anxiety and depres-
sion are higher among women while levels of sensation seeking are
higher among men. Although the male gender is associated with a
greater sensation seeking, compared to women, it is not showed a
higher correlation with the different types of impulsivity. We can
find significant differences to the subscales for the SPQ between the
two genders.
Conclusions The examination of these data may suggest the exis-
tence of differential specific features of gender that, in the presence
of psychopathology, become more easily detectable; particularly in
the male gender, it seems to emerge more impulsive behavior and
activation compared to the female gender inwhich instead it seems
to prevail a tendency to emotionality and introversion.

Introduction Systematic assessment of risks is an essential com-
ponent of care in psychiatric mother baby units. Self-harm, infant
neglect and harm or the vulnerable physical health of both mother
and infant may all pose risks.
Aim Development of a risk assessment tool and risk assessment
among mother-infant dyads at a MBU in Bangalore, India.
Methods Based on data from 200 admissions, doctors and nurses
of the unit developed a 15-item tool for risk assessment. Risk
was assessed by both nurses and doctors among 58 consecu-
tive mothers admitted to the unit. Risk domains included risks
to self, to infant, related to infant health and feeding and vio-
lence faced bymother. Frequencies of various risks were calculated.
Nurses’ risk assessments were compared to the residents’ risk
assessments.
Results The mean age of the mothers was 25 (±4) years, age of
infant 4 (±4) months and duration of episode was 4 (±14) months.
Diagnoses included acute polymorphic psychosis (30%), BPAD (27%)
and depression (21%). 47% had high suicidal risk and 28% had made
an attempt in the current episode. 22% had expressed ideas of infant
harmand 24% had physically harmed the infant. 48% ofmothers had
been physically violent. Multiple risks were seen in 47%. Doctors
were able to identify risks more often than nurses.
Conclusion Risks for self-harm, infant harm and related to infant
health were high. Systematic risk assessment by both nurses and
doctors is important in an MBU to ensure adequate care for the
mother infant dyad.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence
of postpartum depression among women and determine which
factors are related this clinical condition.
Methods The study included 206 women who were admitted
to the department of child health and diseases neonatal inten-
sive care unit in Selcuk university faculty of medicine within six
weeks postpartum period. First SCID-I and demographic data form
for the participants who were volunteer to participate the study
were filled. Then, Edinburgh postpartum depression scale, multidi-
mensional scale of perceived social support, Beck anxiety inventory
and maternal bonding scale were applied to all participants.
Results We found that 6.8% (n = 14) of mothers have postpartum
depression. Than we compared the two grups postpartum depres-
sion (PPD) and non-postpartum depression (NPPD). In terms of
socio-demographic characteristics and found a significant diffe-
rence only in the level of economic status. Socio-economic status
was lower in the group with PPD. In addition, social support recei-
ved during pregnancy was significantly lower in the group with the
PPD. Peripartum or any time depression history and comorbid psy-
chiatric disorders were related factors with PPD. EPDS scores were
significantly higher and MSPSS scores were significantly lower in
the group with PPD.
Conclusion Postpartum depression has many negative conse-
quences for both mother and baby. In the present study, we found
that postpartum depression rates were consistent with previous
studies. Early detection, prevention and treatment of postpartum
depression is very important for the postpartumwomen who have
a higher risk for depression.
