Overview
There are three major types of postpartum mental disorders: postpartum blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis. Postpartum blues are the most common emotional condition for women after giving birth that usually goes away by the second week. Postpartum depression is less common and usually lasts longer than two weeks; symptoms appear virtually every day and last for the majority of the day, and functional impairment may result. Postpartum psychosis is least common and is a mental emergency that happens within the first month after giving birth; it must be treated right away.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Up to 85% of women have some form of mood disorder during the postpartum period.
The most widespread is postpartum blues with prevalence ranging from 30%-75%. It exists in a number of nations and cultures, although there is a difference in the prevalence rates.
According to the reports, it ranges from 15% in Japan to 60% in Iran.[1][2] The disparity in prevalence is because of underreporting of the condition because of cultural beliefs.
The second most common is postpartum depression which affects 10%-15% of new mothers. The average age at presentation is 27 with majority being married and being Akans. On grading them on severity scale, 39% has minimal depression, 22% are affected by moderate depression and mild depression, 6% have moderately severe depression, and 11% are affected by severe depression. There is significant reduction in the symptoms with psychosocial support.[3]
Postpartum psychosis is relatively uncommon which affects 0.1%-0.2% women. [4] [5]
