  7. Research Questions Primary • To assess prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) among postpartum mothers in urban area (Karachi) and in the rural (Northern Areas) of Pakistan using the screening tool of Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS). Secondary • To assess any differences in health and growth outcomes of children of the mothers diagnosed as having PPD versus the mothers without it. WHO study on PPD for urban and rural population

  8. Definition of Post Partum Depression • DSM IV defines Postpartum depression as a form of severe depression after delivery that requires treatment. • Studies state that postnatal depression is a psychological disorder which occurs within six weeks after childbirth WHO study on PPD for urban and rural population

  9. After delivery: • 50%-75% of the new mothers experience "baby blues" • 10% of these women develop a longer-lasting depression • one in 1,000 women develop the more serious condition called postpartum psychosis WHO study on PPD for urban and rural population

  10. ICD 10 diagnostic criteria for PPD i) At least two of the following features must be present for at least two weeks: • A depressed mood for most of the day • Loss of interest or pleasure in activities that are normally pleasurable, such as playing with the baby • Tiredness, decreased energy, and fatigue WHO study on PPD for urban and rural population

  11. ii) Any four of the following should be present: • Loss of confidence and self esteem • Feelings of guilt and blaming oneself • Recurrent thoughts of suicide or death, including that of the child • Difficulty in concentration • Agitation or lethargy • Sleep disturbance • Appetite disturbance WHO study on PPD for urban and rural population

  12. PPD-WHY SHOULD WE BECONCERNED PPD is a serious condition, it can be effectively treated with antidepressant medications and counseling Mother suffering from PPD is unable to do things she needs to do every day Only 20% seek Rx. The remaining individuals remain either undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or seek no medical assistance . PPD has consequences for the physical and psycho-social development of children. WHY??? Infants show growth retardation at several time points in the first year of life In the absence of Rx, PPD can get worse and last for as long as a year. WHO study on PPD for urban and rural population

  13.

  24. Statistical analysis • SA was done using SPSS-10.0 • Frequencies and percentages of the variables was calculated • Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the significance of the variables by taking PPD either present or absent as a binary variable • P value of <0.05 was considered significant WHO study on PPD for urban and rural population

Factors that were not found to be contributory in the urban and the rural population • Age of the mother (less than 20 years) • Parity • History of child death • Family structure: nuclear/extended • Education of parents • Planned or unplanned delivery • Married more than once WHO study on PPD for urban and rural population

  33. CONCLUSION • A very strong association of PPD exists with the biological factor (family history of mental illness), obstetric and child growth related parameters • Our study confirms that babies born to mothers vulnerable to PPD exhibit signs of lagging on the growth parameters as early as in 4-6 weeks of baby’s age.

  43. Limitation of our study • The cases identified at risk of PPD with >12 score or equal to 12 score were not clinically evaluated to confirm the diagnosis. • It was not possible to undertake advanced statistical analysis such as multivariate analysis • Findings cannot be generalized to the entire rural population of Pakistan because of the ethnically different population living in different rural areas of Pakistan.
