Post Partum Depression

BackgroundCommunity-based epidemiological data on post-partum depression from developing countries are scarce.AimsTo determine the incidence of and risk factors for developing post-partum depression in a cohort of women living in rural south India.MethodWe assessed 359 women in the last trimester of pregnancy and 6–12 weeks after delivery for depression and for putative risk factors.ResultsThe incidence of post-partum depression was 11% (95% CI 7.1–14.9). Low income, birth of a daughter when a son was desired, relationship difficulties with mother-in-law and parents, adverse life events during pregnancy and lack of physical help were risk factors for the onset of post-partum depression.ConclusionsDepression occurred as frequently during late pregnancy and after delivery as in developed countries, but there were cultural differences in risk factors. These findings have implications for policies regarding maternal and child-care programmes.

Post partum depression (PPD) is an important complication of child-bearing. It requires urgent interventions as it can have long-term adverse consequences if ignored, for both mother and child. If PPD has to be prevented by a public health intervention, the recognition and timely identification of its risk factors is must. We in this review have tried to synthesize the results of Asian studies examining the risk factors of PPD. Some risk factors, which are unique to Asian culture, have also been identified and discussed. We emphasize on early identification of these risk factors as most of these are modifiable and this can have significant implications in prevention of emergence of post partum depression, a serious health issue of Asian women.

Background: Pregnancy and childbirth are important events in the life of a woman. Life with the new born can be very rewarding but it can be very tough for some women. This phase of life brings about many hormonals, physical and emotional changes in the women during childbirth. Aims and objectives were to find out the prevalence and risk factors of post-partum depression (PPD) in urban area of Indore district and to assess the socio demographic profile of study populationMethods: The study was a cross sectional community-based study, conducted on women who had delivered within a period of 6 weeks to 3 months. 100 women from urban area were selected from Indore district through simple random sampling. Informed consent in written was taken from the mothers. The study tool was pre designed semi structured questionnaire and Edinburgh post-natal depression scale (EPDS) scale, data were entered in excel sheet and analyzed using SPSS software, appropriate statistical test were applied wherever necessary.Results: In our study it was found that prevalence of PPD in urban Indore was 23%. We found that age at the time of marriage below 18 years, mode of delivery (LSCS), initiation of breast feeding (after 1 hour) and birth weight of baby less than 2.5 kg had a strong association with PPD. In our study 58% had normal vaginal delivery and 42% had LSCS in urban area. In urban areas 36% gave a history of birth weight of babies <2.5 kg.Conclusions: Symptoms of PPD were significantly high in urban Indore mothers and they were strongly associated with risk factors.
