| description | Post-partum depression is one of the most severe types of depression and
can be developed at any age, no matter of cultural of social status.
Objectives. To determine the factors associated with the psychological
impact of pregnancy and to emphasize the psychological and psychiatric
risks after giving birth for a woman. Materials and Methods. The study
enrolled 35 patients diagnosed with postpartum depression that have
been hospitalized in a tertiary-care center for psychiatric disorders
between 2016 and 2020. Data were collected from patients’ observation
charts. Results. The incidence of postpartum depression is higher in the
age range 30-45 years old for primiparous women who are from urban
areas, unemployed and not integrated in a family (unbalanced families or
single parents), with medium level of education (high school) and alcohol
addiction. One of 35 patients committed infanticide. Conclusions. Even
if the postpartum depression is known worldwide it is still
underdiagnosed, with certain factors concurring to that. Postpartum
depression requires the identification of risk conditions in pregnant
women and individualized therapy in a patient-centered, holistic manner. |
