“…Results from a previous study show that prenatal anxiety symptoms were predictive of postpartum depressive symptoms in Mexican women [10]. As can be seen in Table 1, 20 percent of prenatal and postpartum women had depressive symptoms, which is at the top end of the range among women in the general U.S. population [53] and other countries [54], yet within the range of Latinas in the U.S. at 20-43% [15,18,[55][56][57]. This highlights the importance of early prevention and detection.…”

“…While risk factors, such as not having a partner [10,11], lower social support [12][13][14], lower partner satisfaction [15][16][17], and multiparity [18] for perinatal depression have been identified, their associations with PAS have yet to be determined among perinatal women living in Mexico. Cesarean delivery and stressful life events [18][19][20][21] are risk factors for PAS in Colombia, Australia, and Rwanda, while resilience has been identified as a protective factor for PAS [22].…”

Anxiety during pregnancy and after childbirth can have negative consequences for a woman and her baby. Despite growing interest in the perinatal mental health of Mexican women living in the U.S., perinatal anxiety symptom (PAS) rates and risk factors have yet to be established for women in Mexico. We sought to determine PAS rates and identify risk factors, including the traditional female role (TFR) in a sample of Mexican women. This secondary data analysis is based on 234 Mexican women who participated in a longitudinal study on perinatal depression in Mexico. Anxiety symptoms were assessed in pregnancy and at six weeks postpartum. Rates were determined through frequencies, and multiple logistics regressions were conducted to identify risk factors in the sample. The PAS rate was 21% in pregnancy and 18% postpartum. Stressful life events and depressive symptoms were associated with a higher probability of PAS. Adherence to TFR increased the probability of prenatal anxiety; lower educational attainment and low social support during pregnancy increased the probability of postpartum anxiety. The PAS rates were within the range reported in the literature. The TFR was only associated with anxiety in gestation, highlighting the role of this culturally relevant risk factor. Culturally responsive early interventions are therefore required.

“…In Mexico, the more rigid gender function culture inhibits women's ability to develop sources and fosters more identical and autonomous partnerships. The study also found that due to economics, the prevalence of prenatal depression is greater in underdeveloped nations than in industrialized countries [10].…”

Depression is resulted from a mixture of hereditary and environmental variables. This article mainly considered biological, genetic, and psychological influences on depression. For environmental aspects, this paper aims to identify the impact of different cultures on depression. The most relevant previous studies were reviewed. The findings suggest that culture does play a role in the development of depression. This review mainly examined studies that compared the effects of individualistic and collectivistic cultures on depression. Traditional filial piety culture and thin culture showed different effects on depression. In addition to the traditional gender roles of certain cultures, caste and other cultural differences can also have an impact on the development of depression. Similarly, prenatal depression is more common in immigrants and poor countries than in non-immigrants and industrialized countries. Resilience and social support are two protective factors for mental health, and these two factors have different degrees of influence depending on the culture. There is still limited amount of research investigated the effects of different cultures on depression. More research on the characteristics of different cultures and their association with depression is needed in the future. This review can provide some guidance for furture research and practice. Prevention and intervention programs for children and families should incorporate cultural factors.

“…Lack of social support and lack of family support has been reported as an important risk factor for developing perinatal mental health problems (Marcos-Nájera et al, 2021;Marcos-Nájera et al, 2020). Having no relatives or friends and a lack of emotional support from their spouse is a common situation for women who are living so far from their home seems a special risk factor for this group.…”

Since February 24 th , 2022, the beginning of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, over 5 million refugees from Ukraine have crossed the European Union border, mainly women and children.

Most arrivals are women and children from all parts of Ukraine. However, the exact number of pregnant and postpartum women war refugees is unknown. According to the United Nations Population Fund, an estimated 265,000 Ukrainian women were pregnant when Clínica y Salud (2022) 33(3) 127-135
