Guided by the views of various authors, the author of the article tries to systematize various etiological moments, both predisposing to postpartum psychoses and producing the latter. The first place among the causes is heredity, a predisposing cause. Between the predisposing and producing causes, as something transitional, there are emotional disturbances and moral upheavals. Finally, among the causative causes, it is necessary to indicate infection and postpartum diseases of the genital organs (especially often subinvolutio uteri), as well as autointoxicapia (eg eclampsia, osteomalacia).
