“…In the current study depressed group did not show any statistical significance with age, education, place of residence and family type which supporting the findings of Saldanha et al 26 Out of 63 women reported having no higher education, 19 of them was found to be depressed, and out of 48 women belonging from rural area, 17 of them reported to be depressed which contradicts studies conducted in developing countries reporting low education level and rural background to be a significant contributor to PPD. 17,27 The reason could be that these women enjoyed good social support as well as support of the spouse despite being less educated or belonging from rural area.…”

Background: Pregnancy and childbirth are important events in the life of a woman and also highly vulnerable period of various physiological and psychological illnesses. Several literatures propound that 22% young Indian mothers are showing depressive symptoms after delivery. The consequence of maternal depression is adverse both for mother and development of the child. Objective of this study was to examine the social and obstetric factors contributing post-partum depression.Methods: Women, 18-35 years of age, having four days to one-year postpartum period was taken from the tertiary care hospital settings. Terminal illness, still birth delivery and comorbid psychiatric illness was excluded. Screening and diagnosis of postpartum depression done based on international classification of diseases (ICD 10) using Edinburgh post-natal depression scale (EPDS). A comparative approach by the means of descriptive statistics was implied for data analysis where mothers with depressive symptoms are experimental group and non-depressed mothers were acted as the controls.Results: Study findings indicated a statistically significant association between postpartum depression and risk factors such as occupation and average social economic class, first time delivery.Conclusions: It is a preliminary study in a restricted geographical area, not covering the neurobiological risk factors of postpartum depression. Hence, the future study will focus on the large sample size in a multi areal population for assuring the accuracy of the result.

“…In a study conducted by Saldanha D et al in north India, the prevalence of postpartum depression was more (60%) when partner support was not there. 4 Study by Nimisha DD et al in north India showed that women who could not confide in their partners were observed to be having odds 10.43 times higher of having postpartum depression than those who could confide in their partners. 9 Lack of partner support was associated with depression among postnatal women, in a study conducted by Swapan G et al in north india.…”

Background: Up to 85% of the women experience some type of mood disturbance in the postnatal period. Postpartum depression affects bonding with infant which may lead to malnutrition and other complications in the infant. This article focuses on the prevalence of depression among postnatal women attending a tertiary care institute in Chennai and to identify the risk factors that affect postpartum depression.Methods: This study was a cross sectional study, performed over a period of three months from January 2019 to March 2019. 200 postnatal mothers were recruited for the study, who were in postpartum period from 1 to 6 weeks after delivery. Specially designed proforma was used to record various determinants to assess the risk factors which could contribute to postpartum depression. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used to detect the depressive symptoms in postnatal mother.Results: A total of 200 cases were studied. Prevalence of postpartum depression was found to be 25%. Primi gravida, history of miscarriage and unplanned pregnancy were associated with increased risk of developing depression in the postnatal period. Fear regarding gender of the child and failure of lactation were not contributing risk factors to postpartum depression. Spacious house and partner support were found to be protective factors to combat depression in postnatal women.Conclusions: Prevalence of postpartum depression was 25%. Significant association was found between primi gravida, history of miscarriage, unplanned pregnancy and postpartum depression. Early screening of the women will reduce the adverse outcomes among both mother and the child.

“…As seen in various studies on the risk factors of PPD in the Indian subcontinent,[ 2 14 15 16 17 18 19 ] birth of a female child tops the chart. It was found that of the 15 parturients with female babies and PPD, 10 (35.7%) belonged to the CSE group versus 5 (14.3%) in the control group ( P = 0.047).…”

“…PPD involves interplay of multiple factors, the association of which has been evaluated in our study. After gleaning through available literature[ 2 4 5 14 15 16 17 18 19 ] on the factors associated with PPD both from the world and those especially relevant to the Indian subcontinent, a number of categorical variables were studied at 3 days and 6 weeks, which include past history of depression, depressive symptoms during pregnancy, family history of psychiatric disorders, perceived stress during pregnancy, perceived social support, mismatch between preferred gender of baby vs. actual gender, history of domestic violence, availability of husband during delivery, marital disharmony, education status, and type of family.…”
