Özet
Although pregnancy and pospartum period are perceived as special and cheerful times by many people, it can also be risky for the mother, who has expectations about holding her baby in her arms, due to its potential for developing psychological disorders. In the postpartum period, parents have to provide care and safety for the baby, maintain good communication, understand their new roles, develop family susceptibility, and cope with their baby's problems. Therefore, mothers are more likely to experience emotional disturbances in the postpartum period compared with other times. Psychiatric disorders of the postpartum period include three diagnostic categories: maternity blues, postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis. Postpartum depression is a term used for all depressive disorders developing in the postpartum period. Even though there is no consensus on the etiology of the disorder, psychosocial factors are reported to play a key role as well as hormonal factors. Because depression during postpartum period has adverse outcomes not only for the mother but also for the family, a specific approach is needed. The emotional link between the mother and the baby falls off seriously. Blotting out the signs results in missing the diagnosis of postpartum depression, because many women have feelings of guilt due to having a depressive mood in a period of proposed being happy. Thus, early and efficient treatment interventions and follow-up visits of women in the risk group are important. In this review, the definition, incidence, risk factors, etiology, clinic features, and treatment of postpartum depression were reviewed.
