Özet
Pregnancy is usually a satisfactory period that is experienced by most women in reproductive age. But the thought of "pregnancy is a protective and comfortable period for women" is not accepted in recent years. Depression in pregnancy is a mood disorder that effects maternal and fetal health and is encountered frequently. Studies report the prevalence of depression and depressive symptoms in pregnancy as 5-51%. The risk factors for depression in pregnancy are abortion frequency in gynecological history, feeling ambivalence regarding abortion and pregnancy, personal and family history of depression, being young and multiparous, unwanted pregnancy, deficiency of social support, and having marital and concomitant medical problems. Depression constitutes an important health problem for individuals and the society because of its high prevalence, chronicity, relapsing nature, and its contribution to loss of workforce, maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality and the risk of suicide. Early diagnosis and treatment of depression in pregnancy is critical for the mother and the baby. The decision for treatment should be made by evaluating the risks and benefits. In this review, we aimed to discuss the definition and treatment, potential perinatal risks and risk factors related to recurrence of depression during pregnancy.
