Abstract:
The delivery process is a strong mind-body experience and a major life event, thus contributing to mental health problems like postpartum depression syndrome and postpartum depression (PPD). Depression history, family history, stressful life events, lack of social support, pregnancy complications with other diseases, and so on are common risk factors for PPD. For PPD prevention, it is essential to identify highrisk factors and to carry out targeted management and intervention at the prenatal, delivery,and postpartum stages.
