Abstract

Current essay focuses on research with regard to pregnancy. Pregnancy brings about huge physical and psychological transformations in the female with a great variety of emotional oscillations, such as fear, anxiety, insecurity, doubts, happiness and others, which, because of the prevailing imbalance, contribute towards the start of post-partum depression symptoms. Scientific registers focusing on PPD prevention methods already demonstrate the use of psycho-social, psycho-pharmacological and hormonal strategies even though no single isolated intervention is sufficiently efficacious in the development of the disease. A review of the literature, based on on-line access to abstracts from databases, is provided. The psychotherapeutic approach is of fundamental importance in treatment, coupled to family support and follow-up.
