It is estimated that in the Western world - as shown by many epidemiological studies, although with wide variability - the post partum depression affects approximately 10-15% of women that give birth. Underestimating this disorder can be a serious failing in public health. This volume presents the results of the project “Prevention and early intervention for the risk of postpartum depression”. In addition to the results, it describes the intervention model applied and the experience of the clinical and supporter centres that participated in the study. The state of the art regarding the prevalence and clinical evidence of the problem is reviewed and the psychodiagnostic methods and tools are examined. The topic on early intervention, also in reference to the risk of suicide and infanticide, is discussed. The further reaches of the research are outlined.
Key words: Postnatal depression; Prevention; Psychological interventions
