Pampaka D, et al. - Researchers estimated the prevalence of postnatal depressive symptoms in Kuwait and identified its determinants. In addition, they compared these risk factors between women who had experienced antenatal depressive symptoms and those that did not. Findings revealed a prevalence of 11.7% of postnatal depressive symptoms, defined by an Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score ≥ 10. As per multivariable logistic regression analysis, in women with depressive symptoms in pregnancy, having a lower household income was identified to be the most significant risk factor for postnatal depressive symptoms. Among women without antenatal depressive symptoms, those who had lower income, were Kuwaitis, experienced other problems in pregnancy such as perceived stress, PTSD symptoms and social isolation, and those who delivered a boy had higher odds of postnatal depressive symptoms. Thereby suggesting the significance of antenatal depressive symptoms and other psychosocial characteristics in predicting postnatal depressive symptoms. Hence, they recommend detecting maternal mental health issues during the antenatal period and providing support in order to lower the risk of postnatal depression and its sequelae.
