Article Synopsis
- Perinatal depression (PD) is a common condition affecting around 11.9% of women during and after pregnancy, with risk factors including neuroticism, low resilience, and anxiety.
- A study conducted in South Italy screened 1,664 women for PD using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, focusing on their mental health at various stages: during the third trimester, after childbirth, and up to one year post-delivery.
- Results indicated that 14.6% of women scored at risk for PD and were associated with negative traits like high neuroticism and dysfunctional coping strategies, highlighting the importance of early screening and tailored interventions to improve women's mental health.
