What this Trial Is About

Post-partum depression is defined as a depressive disorder with onset of symptoms in the year following childbirth. Several international studies have reported a prevalence of this condition of around pathology of around 15%. Santé publique France's 2021 national perinatal survey corroborated these figures, finding a prevalence of post-partum depression in France of in France of 16.7%. It is therefore a frequent pathology that can cause complications for both mother and child. The complications both for the mother and for the mother-child bond. Indeed, post-partum depression can lead to an increased risk of infanticide, weaker mother-child attachment, and altered parental behaviour. post-partum depression can lead to maternal suicide (the second leading cause cause of maternal mortality in France). Despite the potential seriousness of severe depression and its impact on the on the mother-child bond, just under half of those suffering from severe depression suffering from severe depression consult a healthcare professional. Fear of being judged or stigmatised, linked to misperceptions about the episode, is one of the main obstacles to consultation. Of being judged or stigmatised, linked to erroneous representations of the depressive episode. Given the scale of this condition, and the difficulties young mothers face in seeking help for young mothers to seek help, it is vital to screen postpartum women as widely and post-partum women as early as possible. In view of the extent of this condition and the difficulties young mothers have in seeking help for young mothers, it is vital to screen post-partum women as widely and as post-partum. With this in mind, from July 2022, a compulsory early post-natal interview has been introduced, designed to screen for postpartum depression.
