Abstract: Perinatal depression is defined as major and minor depressive episodes that occur either during pregnancy or within the first 12 months following delivery. As the number of individuals with depressions rises globally, the number of new mothers with perinatal depression is predicted to rise from five percent to twenty-five percent depending upon the assessment method, the timing of the assessment and population characteristics. Studies of this form of depression include Caucasian and African American populations, however, do not include Native American and Hispanic populations. The goals of this project were to estimate the prevalence of postpartum depression in Caucasian, African American, Hispanic and Native American women, determine any racial or ethnic differences and develop more effective treatment plans.
