Pregnancy is a time of joy and excitement..
Many studies are now stating that depression is becoming a common thing in pregnancy.
Depression is the psychopathological feeling of sadness due to a primary or secondary cause (Sadock and Sadock 2003), and it is common during pregnancy for women to succumb to feelings of loneliness, sadness, and guilt.
• Depression during pregnancy negatively affects fetal health (Bonari et al 2003), since the mother may have:
o poor appetiteo show suicidal or destructive behaviour and,o resort to vices that could lead to pre-term labor
and poorer APGAR scores (Berle et al 2005).
• Neonates born from depressed mothers have decreased serotonin and dopamine levels (Lundy et al 1999; Field et al 2003) and increased cortisol levels (Kean and Marsh 2007; Lundy et al 1999),
• Results in low birth weights and higher susceptibility to concurrent infections.
• Increased cortisol levels are also associated with predisposition of the child to increased insulin resistance (Philipps et al 1998).
• Moreover, it may affect the mother relationship to the child and have emotional cognitive and behavioural consequences.
