Abstract

Objective To examine the effects of different predictors on the incidence and severity of postpartum depression (PPD) symptoms in a Thai population. Methods In this case control study we delineate the clinical, demographic and socio-economic risk factors associated with PPD symptoms. We used the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) 4–6 weeks postpartum to divide parturients into those with (n = 53) and without (n = 260) PPD using a cutoff score of 11. Results This study confirms previous risk factors for PPD (i.e. a history of lifetime major depression and PPD, a history of depression during pregnancy, multi-parity, unwanted pregnancy, childcare stress, premenstrual syndrome, pain symptoms in the early puerperium), and describes new risk factors (i.e. use of caffeine during pregnancy and baby feeding problems). There are significant associations between (a) a lifetime history of major depression and depression during pregnancy, a history of postpartum depression and lifetime mania; and (b) a history of lifetime mania and a history of depression during pregnancy and a history of postpartum depression. Conclusions A history of lifetime major depression and depression during pregnancy are the most important risk factors for postnatal depression, suggesting that sensitization processes increase risk towards postpartum depression. Postpartum depression may be a subtype of unipolar depression or bipolar disorder. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.
