Description
Ricarda Volz, Volker Arnd Coenen, Juan Carlos Baldermann, and Máté Dániel Döbrössy study risk factors for depression after childbirth. Their 2026 paper uses an online survey of nearly 1,000 recent mothers. The mothers lived in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and had given birth within five years. The condition is common but often missed in routine care.
A total of 975 women were sorted into case and control groups. A history of depression, stress, and low support during pregnancy all tied to the condition. After birth, poor sleep, partner support, and medical or money stress stood out. Strong links included loneliness and hard or traumatic births. Symptoms often began before birth. The authors urge screening during pregnancy, not just after.
