Abstract

Minimal research is available on postpartum depression (PPD) in women from the Middle East/Arab countries. A literature search revealed only 21 empirical studies conducted in the Arab world in the last 20 years. This paper attempts to analyze the existing data for prevalence and risk factors associated with PPD in the target population. The results of review are discussed with implications for prevention and treatment.
