Abstract

( Am J Obstet Gynecol . 2025;232:491.e1-11. doi: 10.1016/j.ajog.2024.10.031.) Postpartum depression (PPD) is described by major depressive episode symptoms within the first 12 months post delivery. PPD is a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and contributes to maternal suicide. It can also negatively impact infant development and behavior. Limited research exists that analyzes the prevalence and risk factors of PPD following cesarean delivery (CD). This study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors for PPD 2 months following CD.
