| Abstract [eng] |
Depressive disorders are the most commonly diagnosed psychological disorders for women in the postpartum period. Postpartum depression is a nonhomogenic disorder: offset, development and levels of its impact vary significantly. Postpartum depression is also hard to diagnose as somatic symptoms of depression – sleep problems, appetite loss, fatigue, changes in daily routine – are common after-birth worries for all women. When undiagnosed and untreated postpartum depression can have serious long term consequences impacting not only a woman but also for a child and wider family. Postportum depression has now been ackowledged as a serious public health problem, with recent research widely exploring psychosocial consequences of untreated depression in women, its negative impact on child‘s development and its potential dangers. This article briefly discusses the definition of postpartum depression, risk factors and overviews interventions designed to prevent the risk of major depressive episodes. |
