    Depression is one of the most common complications in the peripartum period and is an important public health problem that can cause serious problems in both the mother and the baby. Most women who are pregnant or have given birth think that the mood changes they experience are a natural part of this process. For this reason, they may have difficulty recognizing symptoms of depression and delay in seeking professional help. In order to recognize possible depression and prevent delays, it is very important to have regular check-ups during and after pregnancy and to identify risks that may cause depression. Peripartum depression is a disease that is often overlooked and untreated, despite its high incidence.
