Developing Countries

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. The disparity in prevalence is because of underreporting of the condition because of cultural beliefs.
