Active clinical trials for "Depression, Postpartum"

Characterize the psychic and medical disorders related to pregnancy and motherhood in a group of primiparous and primigratic women.

Women who were able to benefit from psychiatric follow-up during the quarantine by tele-consultation have a lower risk of anxious and depressive symptoms than those who did not receive follow-up.

In this TARGet Kids! Study, we want to find out whether a short questionnaire can be used to help find out about mental health problems in preschool age children.

The goal of this research study is to understand the relationship between the hormone oxytocin and postpartum mood. Based on previous research, the investigators hypothesize that lower plasma oxytocin concentration during pregnancy will predict a greater likelihood of postpartum depression. Second, it is expected that oxytocin concentration in the third trimester will show an inverse relationship with the severity of depressive symptoms at 4 - 6 weeks postpartum. Potential participants in the study will be screened for eligibility during their third trimester of pregnancy, using a combination of questionnaires. Those who are eligible for participation will have one blood sample drawn at this time, and then be asked to complete a follow up questionnaire at 4-6 weeks postpartum to assess for depressive mood symptoms. This follow up questionnaire can be completed either in person or on the telephone. Anyone who is interested in receiving help for their mood at any point in the study will receive referrals.

This research will use the Edinburgh Scale Of Post partum depression to evaluate patients during their 4th to 6th after delivery, and the investigators will compare the results with those found in other countries with population with similar characteristics as ours
