Mood Disorders in Women in the
General Population

Depressive disorders are very common

Lifetime prevalence rates range from 4.9-17.1 percent

Women report a history of major depression at nearly
twice the rate of men

Depression is now considered the leading cause of
disease-related disability among women in the world.

Women of childbearing age are at high risk for major
depression
Perinatal Mood Disorder

COMMON
1 in 7 women…15% prevalence rate
 4 million women give birth annually in U.S.; ½ million with
PPD
 Most common, complication of perinatal and postpartum
period
 Compare to prevalence rate of gestational diabetes at 2-5%


MORBID

Devastating consequences for patient and family
 low maternal weight gain, preterm birth
 Impaired bonding between mother and infant
 Increased risk of suicide and infanticide
Risk of Relapse of Major
Depression in Pregnancy

High risk of depressive relapse following antidepressant
discontinuation during pregnancy ( Cohen et al, JAMA,
2006).


Of 201 women in the sample, 86 (43%) experienced a relapse
of major depression during pregnancy.
Women who discontinued medication relapsed more
frequently (68% vs 26%) compared to women who
maintained medication (hazard ratio, 5.0; 95% confidence
interval, 2.8-9.1; P<.001).
 Pregnancy is not "protective" with respect to risk of
relapse of major depression
Care of the Tree
Why do women stop their medications
FEAR of harm to the unborn child
Pressure from Family
Medical Provider tells them to stop
I can handle my depression for 9 months
GUILT
STIGMA
Risks of Untreated Antenatal
Depression





Associated with low maternal weight gain, increased rates of
preterm birth, low birth wt, increased smoking, ETOH and
other substances
Increased ambivalence about the pregnancy and overall worse
health status.
Prenatal exposure to maternal stress has consequences for the
development of infant temperament.
Children exposed to perinatal maternal depression have higher
cortisol levels than infants of mothers who were not depressed,
and this continues through adolescence.
Maternal treatment of depression during pregnancy appears to
help normalize infant cortisol levels.

Guilt
“Guilt is a cognitive or an emotional experience that occurs
when a person realizes or believes-accurately or not- that he or
she has compromised his or her own standards of conduct or
has violated a moral standard”
