What is Maternal Depression?<\/h2>\n

A depression<\/a> is the most prevalent mental disorder during pregnancy and the puerperium.<\/p>\n

Maternal depression contributes to impaired interaction with the baby and increases the babies' risk of cognitive, emotional and behavioral disorders.<\/p>\n

Depression after childbirth<\/h2>\n

A study published in the journal Pediatrics conducted by researchers from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) showed that 1 in 4 women experienced high levels of depressive symptoms at some point in the three years after giving birth.<\/p>\n

For comparison, the lifetime prevalence of depression in the general population is around 20%.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the prevalence of 25% depression in the three years following childbirth is high and draws attention.<\/p>\n

The researchers also identified four trajectories of postpartum depressive symptoms and the factors that can increase a woman's risk of developing severe symptoms.<\/p>\n

The trajectories of depressive symptoms were identified as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Low-stable, characterized by mild symptoms in the period (74.7%);<\/li>\n
  2. Low-growing, characterized by initially mild symptoms, but increasing over time (8.2%);<\/li>\n
  3. Medium-decreasing, characterized by symptoms that are initially moderate but remit over time (12.6%);<\/li>\n
  4. High-persistent, characterized by symptoms at high and persistent levels (4.5%).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Profiles most likely to develop depressive symptoms in the puerperium<\/h2>\n

    Women with a history of mood disorders in the past or during pregnancy are likely to develop depressive symptoms in the puerperium.<\/p>\n

    Unplanned or unwanted pregnancies are also factors that increase stress and can cause symptoms to appear.<\/p>\n

    Physical, emotional and lifestyle factors can also influence the appearance of depressive disorder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Evidence suggests that many mothers do not seek treatment. Many women hope that the symptoms will pass without treatment.<\/p>\n

    Proper treatment protects mother and baby from the burden of depression. It's important to seek specialized mental health support. Qualified knowledge makes a difference.<\/p>\n
