PY - 2015 T2 - Maternal Medicine AB - Approximately 10% to 13% of pregnant women suffer from pregnancy-associated depressive episodes,1,2 and about 5% to 6% develop major depression during pregnancy.2 Maternal suicide accounts for 20% of postnatal deaths among depressed women.3 One in five women will experience a major depression episode during the course of her lifetime. Upon diagnosis of pregnancy, most women will discontinue their antidepressants owing to the concern of adverse effects on the fetus. Pregnancy, however, does not protect against the development of an episode of depression, making it more likely that these patients will need behavioral and pharmacologic treatments. Yet this aspect continues to be the most neglected part of a woman’s obstetric care.
