Conclusions
PE can be an independent risk factor for PPD. Moreover, its severity and complications exacerbate the development of PPD. Severe PE, FGR, and NICU admission all increased nearly 3-fold risk for PPD positive screening. Patients with PE should be offered suitable interventions, such as pain management, more Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapies (IPT) to prevent the development of PPD.
