Post-partum depression (PPD) is a clinical condition occurring in the weeks or months following delivery. This clinical condition is characterized by sad mood, anxiety, irritability, lack of positive emotions, loss of pleasure, interests and energy, decreased appetite, inability to cope, fear of hurting themselves and their baby, and suicidal thoughts. Postpartum depression (PPD) represents the most relevant psychic complication related to the puerperium. Although with wide variability [1], in the western world it is estimated that PPD affects about 10 - 15% of women who give birth [2]. The first weeks immediately after childbirth are the most critical, and although the increased vulnerability continues for the fol- lowing six months [3,4], PPD generally occurs within the first four weeks after delivery [5].

Abstract
Post-partum depression (PPD) is a clinical condition occurring in the weeks or months following delivery. This clinical condition is characterized by sad mood, anxiety, irritability, lack of positive emotions, loss of pleasure, interests and energy, decreased appetite, inability to cope, fear of hurting themselves and their baby, and suicidal thoughts. Postpartum depression (PPD) represents the most relevant psychic complication related to the puerperium. Although with wide variability [1], in the western world it is estimated that PPD affects about 10 - 15% of women who give birth [2]. The first weeks immediately after childbirth are the most critical, and although the increased vulnerability continues for the fol- lowing six months [3,4], PPD generally occurs within the first four weeks after delivery [5].
